ZWO AM7 Harmonic Equatorial Mount + TC40 Carbon Tripod

ZWO AM7 Harmonic Equatorial Mount + TC40 Carbon Tripod

ZWO AM7 strain-wave equatorial/alt-az mount, 20 kg payload without counterweight (30 kg with), 6.75 kg, with TC40 carbon tripod.

The AM7 is ZWO's highest-capacity strain-wave (harmonic) mount, built for heavier and longer-focal-length imaging rigs: 20 kg without a counterweight and 30 kg with one, for a 6.75 kg mount head. USB-C and DC power ports on the saddle keep cables tidy.

A strain-wave gear with a synchronous belt (300:1) gives high torque with no meridian-flip balancing worries and, in most setups, no counterweight. It works in equatorial or alt-azimuth mode, has a power-off brake on the RA axis and a mechanical zero position, and is controlled by ASIAIR, the included hand controller, or a PC over USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Every mount ships with its own periodic-error test report.

Supplied with the ZWO TC40 carbon-fibre tripod (made for the AM3, AM5 and AM7 mounts), which bolts directly to the mount base.
