The ZWO AM3N Harmonic Equatorial Mount is a compact and portable strain wave mount designed for astrophotography and astronomical observation. Its harmonic drive system provides precise motion and tracking while keeping the mount lightweight and easy to transport.
With a payload capacity of up to 8 kg without a counterweight and 13 kg with a counterweight, the AM3N can support a wide range of lightweight telescopes and imaging setups. It can operate in both Equatorial and Alt-Azimuth modes, making it versatile for astrophotography as well as visual observation.
The AM3N uses a strain wave gear combined with a synchronous belt drive and a 300:1 reduction ratio. Its built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow wireless control from compatible devices, while integration with ZWO ASIAIR, ASCOM, and INDI makes it well suited to modern astrophotography workflows.
