ZWO FF65 APO Bundle with AM3 and Carbon Tripod

The ZWO FF65 APO Bundle with AM3 and Carbon Tripod is a complete and highly portable setup for demanding astrophotography. This bundle combines the powerful and compact ZWO FF65 APO quintuplet astrograph, the advanced ZWO AM3 harmonic mount and a robust carbon tripod with high carrying capacity. Ideal for astrophotographers who want to combine travel, precision and simplicity in one powerful setup.

ZWO FF65 APO - Flatfield quintuplet with ED glass
The FF65 APO is a 65 mm f/6.4 quintuplet astrograph with two ED elements for exceptional color correction and flat image fields. It is fully optimized for full-frame cameras without the need for additional flatteners or distance calculations. Its construction delivers a sharp and even image all the way to the edges - perfect for high-precision deep-sky photography.

Thanks to the fixed flat-field correction, you no longer have to calculate backfocus. The FF65 is ready to use immediately with included adapters (M48, M54, M68) and offers backfocus values of 176 mm, 105 mm and 130 mm depending on the connection used.

ZWO AM3 mount - Light, quiet and counterweightless
The AM3 is an advanced mount with harmonic drive technology which can carry up to 8 kg without counterweight - or up to 13 kg with counterweight bar (optional). Thanks to dual-mode switching, it is both in equatorial (EQ) as azimuthal (AZ) mode usable, with status lighting instantly showing the mode set.

Each mount is individually calibrated and provides a periodic error of less than ±20 arc seconds, which is exceptional for this format. Full wireless control via the ASIAIR app or handbox completes the experience.

Carbon tripod - Lightweight and stable up to 50 kg
The included tripod is specially designed for mobile astrophotography. Despite its low weight, it has a carrying capacity of 50 kg. For additional stability, a weight container is included, which can be filled with sand or stones. This keeps it stable even during longer exposure times or wind gusts.
