iOptron HEM44 - Lightweight Hybrid EQ Mount
The iOptron HEM44 combines power, precision and flexibility in a compact mount. Ideal for those seeking a stable platform for both visual observation and astrophotography.
Strong carrying capacity without additional weight
The HEM44 weighs only 6.2 kg, but can carry telescopes up to 20 kg. No need for large counterweights. This makes set-up and transport easier, while still allowing you to mount heavy equipment safely.
Sturdy, reliable and durable
The all-metal housing is CNC-machined. This gives a robust and stable platform that will last for years. An electronic brake and shutdown memory allow you to safely stop and resume GoTo movements even after a power failure. No re-alignment required.
Smart control and connectivity
Control the HEM44 from your Windows or Mac computer via ASCOM or INDI. Mobile control can be done via iOptron Commander Lite, SkySafari or Raspberry Pi. With built-in Wi-Fi and USB ports, easily connect accessories and perform firmware updates.
