PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The New AM5N Harmonic Equatorial Mount by ZWO represents the next evolution of ultra-portable astrophotography mounts, blending advanced harmonic drive technology with state-of-the-art electronics. With no need for counterweights for payloads up to 13 kg and support for up to 20 kg with counterweights, the AM5N delivers impressive performance in a remarkably compact body.
Designed with both equatorial and alt-az modes, the AM5N allows users to toggle between visual observation and long-exposure imaging effortlessly. Its improved strain wave gearing system ensures smoother tracking with lower periodic error, while the upgraded internal electronics allow for more refined control and real-time feedback. The AM5N is fully compatible with ASIAIR, PC-based control systems, and ZWO's hand controller.
With its silent operation, zero meridian flip, and robust payload capacity, the AM5N is ideal for astrophotographers and visual observers who want professional-grade tracking performance in a compact and portable mount.
