iOptron HAE18C AZ\/EQ - Compact Power with Smart Control<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"iOptron<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Compact and powerful<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With only 3 kg<\/strong> own weight you lift it effortlessly, but it carries up to 8.5 kg without counterweight<\/strong> or 12 kg with counterweight<\/strong>. Perfect for those who are often on the go or want to set up quickly without lugging heavy equipment around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two modes - double convenience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use it in AZ mode<\/strong> for quick, intuitive observation. Or switch to EQ mode<\/strong> for precise astrophotography. That way you have one mount for all situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"iOptron<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Smart technology, easy to use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The built-in GoTo function<\/strong> with more than 212,000 sky objects<\/strong> gets you to your goal in seconds. Control everything via WiFi<\/strong> on your tablet or smartphone with the iOptron Commander Lite app<\/strong>. No cables, no hassle - just connect and start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safer and smarter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Electronic Friction Brake<\/strong> protects your telescope if the power goes out. As soon as you turn the power back on, the HAE18C automatically calibrates itself and knows its exact position. So you never lose your alignment or time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solidly built, flexibly deployable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the Vixen saddle<\/strong> you effortlessly use a variety of telescopes - from compact to medium-sized. The aluminum axes ensure stability and smooth movement, keeping your image sharp and flicker-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready for every night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The power supply and robust transport case<\/strong> are included, so you can hit the road right away. The tripod and counterweight are optional - ideal if you want to build a lightweight, modular setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iOptron HAE18C AZ\/EQ<\/strong> is made for those seeking power, precision and ease of use in one portable design. Compact, smart and reliable - just what you need to capture every bright moment under the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
