Compact powerhouse

It weighs only 3.2 kg, making it easy to take it with you to any observing spot. Ideal for mobile astrophotographers and travelers who don't want to lug around a heavy setup.
Dual AZ/EQ design - flexible for any situation

Quiet, smooth and precise
The innovative SWG Hybrid Drive combines a Strain Wave Gear on the RA axis with a worm gear on the DEC axis. So you get the precision of a premium mount, but at a lower price. The result: smooth tracking, sharp images and stable performance - even at high magnifications.
