The ZWO AM3 Harmonic Mount is one of the most compact and advanced mounts on the market for astrophotographers who want to combine mobility and precision. Weighing only 4 kg and with a payload capacity of 8 kg without counterweight (up to 13 kg with counterweight), this is the solution for those who want to achieve maximum results with minimal means.
ZWO applies harmonic drive technology from robotics, ensuring extremely smooth tracking and minimal backlash. The AM3 works in both equatorial mode (for astrophotography) and alt-azimuth mode (for visual observation or planetary work), with a simple switch between the two. A status LED clearly shows which mode is active: red for EQ, green for AZ.
Each mount is individually tested by ZWO and comes with a guaranteed periodic error of less than ±20 arcsec. Combined with an ST-4 guide port and full integration with ASIAIR, this is a mount you can work with professionally right away — without hassle with cables or laptops.
The AM3 has a universal dovetail saddle (Vixen and Losmandy) and works with virtually any telescope in the light to medium segment. Add a carbon tripod (like the ZWO TC40) and you have a complete, travel-friendly setup that you can literally carry in a backpack.
In summary: a smart choice for astrophotographers looking for portability, reliability, and modern control in one compact mount.
