ZWO AM3N Strain Wave Gear Mount & Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit

This AM3N Strain Wave Gear Mount & Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit from Fotohaus Klinger provides a compact and precise alt-az/equatorial telescope mount and a sturdy but lightweight set of legs to support it. The AM3N can hold more than 17 pounds of optics or camera and accessories with no counterweight needed. The tripod includes a spreader and a weight back for stability.

Providing smooth strain wave gearing and neat cable management, the ZWO AM3N Strain Wave Gear Mount offers altazimuth operation for observation and go-to equatorial tracking via an app or a hand controller for astrophotography. The mount weighs just nine pounds but can support up to 17.6 pounds on its own or 28.7 pounds with a user-supplied counterweight and shaft. The brake system prevents the mount from toppling if the power is cut off. The mount runs on a user-supplied 12V, 3A power supply and is compatible with ASCOM and ZWO's ASIAIR platforms.

The mount's hex wrench resides in a magnetized recess behind the left latitude lock knob and the knob design won't interfere with access to the tool.

Built for ZWO telescope mounts but also compatible with iOptron, Sky-Watcher, and Rainbow Astro, this Carbon Fiber Tripod provides a stable platform for your night sky observation and photography. The two-section legs extend to a 31.5"maximum height with a lock on the spider and a spreader bar providing security. The included weight bag can be used to add stability.
