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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iOptron-CEM70EC-Montering-iPolar-1.jpg\" alt=\"iOptron CEM70EC side with counterweight mounted on mounting head with worm gear housing\" class=\"wp-image-32805\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Smart design, powerful performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 \u00b13.5 arc seconds - ideal for long exposures in astrophotography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/iOptron-CEM70EC-Montering-iPolar-2.jpg\" alt=\"iOptron CEM70EC rear view with connection for power supply, ST-4 and USB\" class=\"wp-image-32806\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Smart technology that helps you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Made for astrophotographers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Specification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Capacity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Model<\/td><td>CEM70 GoTo<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Max. load capacity<\/td><td>31 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight of the mount<\/td><td>13.6 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Counterweight(s)<\/td><td>1 \u00d7 9.5 kg<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interfaces<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Gates<\/td><td>ST-4 &amp; USB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Power supply<\/td><td>12V (power supply included)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Language<\/td><td>English<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mechanical properties<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Pole adjustment<\/td><td>0\u00b0 -
