ZWO AM3 Harmonic Mount (without or with tripod)

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 carrying 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 resources.

ZWO applies harmonic drive technology derived from robotics, which ensures extremely smooth tracking and minimal backlash. The AM3 works both in equatorial mode (for astrophotography) as in 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 delivered with a guaranteed periodic error of less than ±20 arcsec. Combined with an ST-4 guide port and full integration with the ASIAIR this is a mount you can work with professionally right away - without the hassle of cables or laptops.

The AM3 has a universal dovetail saddle (Vixen and Losmandy) and works with virtually any telescope in the light to mid-range range. Add a carbon tripod add (like the ZWO TC40) and you have a complete, travel-friendly setup that you can literally carry in a backpack.

In short: a smart choice for astrophotographers seeking portability, reliability and modern controls in one compact mount.
