The HEM44 mounts of iOptron have the excellent characteristics of a "large" equatorial mount and, thanks to "Harmonic Drive" technology, do not require counterweights /counterweight rod. Despite its low weight of just 6.2 kg, the Payload can be 20kg . Therefore, HEM mounts have an excellent weight-to-payload ratio and also offer very good features, such as permanent worm error correction ( periodic error correction ), automatic shutdown of the mount in case of power supply and the consequent realignment during operation, tracking precision (even without guide), internal cable management, double dovetail clamp for Vixen and Losmandy guides, high-quality CNC machined and anodized materials, the proven software iOptron Go2Nova 8409 , integrated WiFi and extreme silence typical of iOptron mounts.
