DESCRIPTION
The iOptron HEM27 is a new-generation hybrid equatorial mount designed for high portability, precision, and reliability. It combines a strain wave gear drive in right ascension (RA) with a zero-backlash worm/belt drive in declination (DEC). Weighing only 3.7 kg (8.15 lbs), it supports up to 13.5 kg (29.7 lbs) of payload without counterweights.
The CNC-machined, black anodized aluminum body ensures durability and visual appeal. An integrated electronic friction brake safely locks the mount in place during unexpected power loss.
The built-in iPolar electronic polar scope allows fast, accurate polar alignment—even when Polaris is not visible. All cables are internally routed, avoiding snags or wrapping issues. The HEM27 also features a Go2Nova hand controller with a 212,000-object database, an ST-4 port, a dual Vixen/Losmandy saddle, Wi-Fi (via hand controller), and a USB port for firmware updates and PC control.
It can be controlled via Windows (ASCOM/iOptron Commander), macOS or Raspberry Pi (INDI), or mobile devices via iOptron Commander Lite or SkySafari.
