iOptron GEM28 with iPolar and 1.5" tripod
The new compact next generation German mount from iOptron - the GEM28! Like its predecessors, the GEM28 was designed with mobility in mind. Weighing only 4.5 kg, it can carry up to 12.7 kg of payload.

Building on the legacy of previous GEM models, iOptron has added attractive features for greater convenience and functionality.
A gear engagement system with positive locking (easy to operate even with gloves on)--.
Integrated Wi-Fi, which provides unparalleled connectivity.
A storable permanent periodic error correction (PPEC) for repeating optimal PEC training sessions. This improves tracking accuracy for astrophotography.
Accurate polar alignment through the electronic polar finder is provided, as well as an electronic polar alignment method for those who do not have a clear view of Polaris.
CNC-machined and cast metal housing.
Large, easy-to-use quick-release couplings
Integrated ST-4 autoguiding connector
Built-in Wi-Fi
USB port for firmware upgrade and computer control
Standard 1.5-inch heavy-duty stainless steel tripod (5 kg)
Die-cast metal tripod spider with accessory tray
Optional 32-channel GPS (Global Positioning System)



The GEM28 is equipped with the latest advanced GOTONOVA® GOTO technology
This makes it one of the most powerful and accurate GOTO mounts on the market. The library of 212,000 entries ensures that you will never run out of objects to see or image. The Go2Nova® handheld controller is intuitive to use and its large 4-line LCD screen simplifies telescope setup and object finding.

iPolar - electronic polar finder
The GEM28A mount features an integrated electronic polar finder scope, called iPolar. This polar finder ensures accurate alignment of a telescope.

Tripod Connection:
The mount is attached to the tripod from above with two M6 screws (see illustration). This allows an easy adaptation to own tripod constructions or also pier adapters.

Bin mit der kleinen GEM28 seit einem Jahr sehr zufrieden, funktioniert gut, sehr leise und läuft beim Guiding bis 8kg genau so gut wie meine große. Das Stativ ist meiner Meinung nach auch ausreichend, wer sagt das Stativ sei Schrott sollte den Fehler lieber mal wo anders suchen.
