Perfect for those who want to effortlessly explore or photograph the night sky. Whether you're viewing the Moon, planets or galaxies - this mount gives you stable, accurate tracking without the hassle.<\/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-HAE16C-AZ-EQ-Montering-Dual-SWG-Hybrid-2.jpg\" alt=\"iOptron HAE16C AZ\/EQ straight side view of housing with motor components and mounting clips\" class=\"wp-image-32869\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compact powerhouse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a load capacity of up to&nbsp;<strong>8 kg without counterweight<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>12 kg with counterweight<\/strong>&nbsp;the HAE16C offers a surprising amount of power for its size. It weighs only&nbsp;<strong>3.2 kg<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dual AZ\/EQ design - flexible for any situation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use it as&nbsp;<strong>azimuthal mount<\/strong>&nbsp;For quick setups or as&nbsp;<strong>equatorial mount<\/strong>&nbsp;for precise astrophotography. This allows you to adjust the setup to what you want to do that night - visual observation or long exposures.<\/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-HAE16C-AZ-EQ-Montering-Dual-SWG-Hybrid-3.jpg\" alt=\"iOptron HAE16C AZ\/EQ front view with Vixen saddle and visible ports and panel controls\" class=\"wp-image-32870\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quiet, smooth and precise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The innovative&nbsp;<strong>SWG Hybrid Drive<\/strong>&nbsp;combines a&nbsp;<strong>Strain Wave Gear<\/strong>&nbsp;on the RA axis with a&nbsp;<strong>worm gear on the DEC axis<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart security and self-calibration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The built-in&nbsp;<strong>Electronic Friction Brake<\/strong>&nbsp;protects your telescope. If the power goes out, the mount stops immediately and does not lose its position. As soon as you turn it back on,&nbsp;<strong>it calibrates automatically<\/strong>&nbsp;and know exactly where it stands. That means less time setting, more time observing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modern control with Go2Nova &amp; WiFi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong>Go2Nova\u00ae 8411 controller<\/strong>&nbsp;gives access to&nbsp;<strong>212,000 sky objects<\/strong>&nbsp;- From planets to distant nebulae. Thanks to&nbsp;<strong>built-in WiFi<\/strong>&nbsp;easily control the mount via your smartphone or tablet with&nbsp;<strong>SkySafari<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Raspberry Pi<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>INDI<\/strong>. No cables, no hassle - just wireless control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Light, stable and ready to use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HAE16C comes with a&nbsp;<strong>power supply and sturdy carrying case<\/strong>, so you can get started right away. Tripod and column extension are optional, but for maximum stability we recommend the&nbsp;<strong>iOptron CF tripod (40 mm)<\/strong>&nbsp;to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong>iOptron HAE16C AZ\/EQ<\/strong>&nbsp;is made for anyone who wants precision in a compact size - without concessions.
