Introducing the iOptron AZ/EQ hybrid SWG mount HAE16C. This light weight, compact, mini titan will deliver a portable astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing just 5.7 Ibs with a payload capability 18lbs, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. iOptron's multi-decade experience creating compact precision mounts with unheard of payload to weight ratios, led to the HAE16C becoming the choice for astronomers on the go. Utilizing state of the art strain wave gear technology on the RA axis, with a traditional worm gear on the DEC, the HAE16C delivers tracking accuracy that other SWG mounts can't match. Its black anodized all metal CNC machined body is not only appealing to the eye, it's a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come. Unique features include an electronic friction brake which allows the mount to stop safely, upgradable firmware, built-in Wi-Fi, and zero position locator. The HAE16C mount can be controlled by a computer, either via ASCOM/Commander for Windows PC or a third party INDI driver for MacOS, a SmartPhone/Tablet via iOptron Commander Lite, an app like Sky Safari or a Raspberry Pi device via INDI driver.
