To keep pace with the rapidly developing technology environment in the amateur astronomy market, this iOptron HAE69 StrainWave Dual Mount does not come with a hand controller (not needed), iPolar, or the iMate computer.  Instead, you choose which, if any, extra accessories you want in order to build out the perfect mount system for your needs.

What you DO get, however,  is a lightweight, compact, medium payload AZ/EQ HAE69 mount that will deliver an astronomy experience like never before. Imagine a mount head weighing in at less than 20 lbs with a payload capability 69 lbs, without needing a cumbersome counterweight or shaft. Applying iOptron’s multi-decade experience creating precision mounts, the HAE69 makes this vision possible.

Utilizing state-of-the-art strain wave gear technology for both RA and DEC movement, the HAE69 delivers unparalleled weight to payload efficiency. Its black anodized, all metal CNC machined body is appealing to the eye and is a rugged platform that will perform at the highest level for many years to come. Unique features include an electronic friction break to safely stop movement during a planned or unplanned power interruption.

All iOptron HAE69C dual SWG Alt-az/ Eq mounts now have an internal main board and no longer requires use with a handset, although if you wish to acquire one they can be purchased separately.
