Powerful, accurate and balanced mount
The iOptron CEM70EC is made for those who want stability and precision without compromising carrying capacity or ease of use. Its unique center-balanced design keeps the weight perfectly distributed, so your setup moves stably and smoothly - even with heavy telescopic tubes. So you enjoy sharp, vibration-free images, time after time.
Smart design, powerful performance
With a carrying capacity of 31 kg and its own weight of only 13.6 kg, the CEM70EC delivers an impressive power-to-mobility ratio. So you can easily take it with you for mobile sessions, but it is equally suitable for permanent setups in an observatory.
The advanced stepper motors and timing belt drive ensure smooth motion and highly accurate tracking. The built-in encoders keep your target in exact focus with a margin of error of less than ±3.5 arc seconds - ideal for long exposures in astrophotography.
Smart technology that helps you
The integrated iPolar camera makes aligning to the pole star quick and effortless via your laptop. No hassle with manual viewfinders - just plug in, adjust and you're ready to shoot. The Go2Nova 8407 handheld controller makes it easy to navigate between thousands of celestial objects, while the built-in heater prevents the screen from fogging up during cold nights.
Thanks to the 32-channel GPS, your mount always knows where it is and when it's time for observation. Built-in cable management keeps everything neat and secure, so you don't have to struggle with loose cords.
Made for astrophotographers
The dual dovetail clamp supports both Vixen and Losmandy rod systems, so you can mount virtually any telescope. The solid construction offers confidence - even with heavy optics or cameras. And the large dials are easy to operate, even with gloves on.
The iOptron CEM70EC comes in a sturdy transport case so that your investment is always well protected. This mount is designed for anyone seeking maximum precision and reliability - whether you're shooting at home or under dark skies on location.
