The newest members of iOptron strain wave gear mount
family - AZ/EQ dual mount HAE29B and HAE29B EC! These light weight, compact,
medium payload titans will deliver an astronomy experience like never before.
Imagine a mount head weighing in at less than 8lbs with a payload capability 29.7lbs,
without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. Applying iOptron’s
multi-decade experience creating precision mounts, the HAE29 brings this vision
to reality.
Utilizing state-of-the-art strain wave gear technology for both RA and DEC
movement, the HAE29s deliver unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. Its
black anodized, all metal CNC machined body is appealing to the eye and is a
rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come.
Unique features include an electronic friction break to safely stop movement
during a planned or unplanned power interruption.
The new “B” iMate HAE29 model mounts feature a powerful 64-bit ARM based
on-board computer with Wi-Fi, preloaded KStars planetarium software, Ekos
control and automation tool with INDI drivers. This hardware-software
combination will support the use of most current and future devices allowing
the user choice of brand and model (cameras, focusers, filter wheels, etc.).
With 32GB eMMC storage along with a slot for an up to 64 GB TF(microSD) memory,
the iMate has the ability to control and capture an entire automated imaging
session. The iMate is cross-platform; use it with Windows, IOS, Linux, Android
etc .
All HAE iMate dual SWG Alt-az/Eq mounts now have an internal main board and no
longer requires a handset for operation.All the accessories can be connected to
the iMate and there is no cable drags when the mount is operating.
An HAE29B mount can also be controlled by a computer via the USB-C port on the
mount base, either via ASCOM/Commander for a Windows PC or a third party INDI
driver for a Mac OS software.
The HAE29B EC features a high precision RA axis encoder that delivers
incredible tracking accuracy, enough that many will choose to image “sans”
guiding.
