iOptron HAZ71 Alt-AZ Mount Strain Wave

iOptron HAZ71 Alt-AZ Mounting Strain Wave: 32 kg load capacity, ready in minutes

The iOptron HAZ71 weighs 32 kg (71 lbs) without counterweight, yet it remains a mount that you can take with you. The strain wave drive eliminates the need for counterweights, and with the alt-azimuth mount, pole alignment is also eliminated.

For star-gazing evenings and public moments with great expectations, this is the cover that stands out the fastest.

Control via the Go2Nova 8409 hand control or wirelessly via WiFi; the GPS automatically sets the time and position.

Strain wave without polar alignment

The strain wave gears deliver a high torque without backlash and without a counterweight. Furthermore, as a pure alt-azimuth mount, polar alignment is eliminated: set it up, align on one or two stars, and observe.

The friction brake safely stops the mount in the event of a power failure, and the power-down memory preserves the alignment for the next session.

Heavy work, made light

Large Schmidt-Cassegrains and dual setups up to 32 kg rotate smoothly and quietly. The friction brake keeps everything securely in place, even in the event of a power failure.

The 20 cm MiniPier gives large tubes extra clearance around the tripod legs.
