iOptron HEM44 - Lightweight Hybrid EQ Mount<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Strong carrying capacity without additional weight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sturdy, reliable and durable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart control and connectivity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convenience and accuracy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The built-in zero point search and locate helps you align telescopes quickly and precisely. The HEM44 is compatible with both Vixen and Losmandy saddles, allowing you to use many different optical tubes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
