Introducing the AZ/EQ dual mount HAE29C! This light weight, high payload little titan will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing in at 3.7 kg with a payload capability 13.5 kg, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. Applying iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating precision mounts, the HAE29 brings this vision to reality.

Utilising 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 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 that allows the mount to stop safely.

An HAE29 mount can be controlled by a computer, either via ASCOM/Commander for a Windows PC or a third party INDI driver for a MacOS software; a Smartphone/Tablet via iOptron Commander Lite or an App like Sky Safari; or a Raspberry Pi device via INDI driver, “C” models (internal main board versions) with built-in Wi-Fi allow for external control without need for a handset.

Those who prefer using a handset, the optional 8411 Go2Nova® controller is available. Both versions of the HAE29C (std. or EC) have on saddle USB and 12V ports for easier cable management. A quality form fit case is included.
