About this product

Part Number: HE292C

iOptron HAE29C Strain Wave AZ/EQ Mounting.

The iOptron HAE29C is a lightweight, high payload mount that delivers an astronomy experience like never before.

Imagine a mount head weighing only 8 lbs, with a payload capability of 40 lbs, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating precision mounts has made this possible.

Utilising state-of-the-art strain wave gear technology for both the RA and DEC axes, the HAE29 delivers unparalleled weight to payload efficiency.

Its black anodised all-metal CNC machined body provides a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years.

Keeping pace with the current rapidly developing technology environment, the Ioptron HAE29C and HAE29EC Strain Wave Mounts have added new "C" (Internal Main Board Versions) with Built in Wi-Fi.

The internal main board design was developed to cater to the growing number of mount users and imagers that prefer using a computer, tablet or other device to operate the mount.

For those who prefer using a handset the optional 8411 GOTO Nova cobntroller is available.

Both versions of the HAE29C have on saddle USB and 12v ports for easier cable management. These dual Strain Wave Gear mounts also function as an equatorial mount for iaging or alt-az for solar or quick and easy set up. A Quality form fit case in included with both versions.

Unique features such as an electronic friction break and power-down memory enable the mount to stop and resume a GoTo slew safely or continue tracking even after an abrupt power loss (No need to realign and start from the beginning).

The mount can be controlled by a computer, either via ASCOM/Commander for a Windows PC or a third-party INDI driver for MacOS software, a SmartPhone/Tablet via iOptron Commander Lite or an App like SkySafari, or a Raspberry Pi device via INDI driver.

NOTE: The tripod shown in photos is not included but can be purchased separately.
