With a load capacity of 25 kg, it can carry heavy telescopes and complete astrophotography setups. The built-in Wi-Fi module connects to the free SynScan Pro app on your smartphone, tablet, or PC: from there, you can select from the full object database and control the mount. A physical hand controller is not included, but can be connected as an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-EQ-6i-Montering-Pro-SynScan-GoTo-WiFi-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ-6i equatorial GoTo mount on tripod with counterweight and visible WiFi logo in corner.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silent stepper motors with belt drive follow objects accurately and without disturbing noise. The illuminated polar scope makes polar alignment quick and controllable. For astrophotography, an autoguider port, USB connection, and SNAP shutter control for your camera are included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EQ6-i or EQ6-R Pro?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EQ6-i offers more payload capacity (25 kg vs. 20 kg) for a lower price, but it does not come with a hand controller. Those who prefer tactile buttons in the dark should choose the EQ6-R Pro or order the SynScan hand controller separately. Those who already work via app or PC will get the most mount for their money with the EQ6-i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-EQ-6i-Montering-Pro-SynScan-GoTo-WiFi-1.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ-6i Pro SynScan GoTo mount fully mounted on stainless steel tripod with counterweights, ready to use.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>EQ6-i mount with built-in Wi-Fi<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Steel tripod with 2 inch (51 mm) legs<\/li>\n\n\n<li>2 counterweights of 5.1 kg<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Illuminated polar finder<\/li>\n\n\n<li>12V power cable<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sky-Watcher SynScan GoTo hand controller is the logical addition for those who want physical control alongside the app. The Oklop transport bag for EQ6 mounts protects the head during transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For whom yes, for whom no<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For: astrophotographers and observers who control their mount via the SynScan Pro app or PC and are looking for maximum payload per euro.
