The HAZ31 mount offers a game-changing astronomy experience, thanks to its cutting-edge strain wave gear technology. Unlike standard worm gear mounts, this compact and lightweight mount provides superior weight to payload efficiency and eliminates the need for cumbersome counterweights or shafts. With a mount head weighing just 8.2 lbs and a payload capacity of 31 lbs, the HAZ31 supports a wide range of instruments for outreach programs and satellite tracking.

Its multi-position saddle, which can be placed on top or to the side, makes it easy to accommodate binoculars, and its black anodized, CNC machined metal body is both stylish and durable. The electronic friction brake on both the ALT and AZI allows for safe stopping, and the “Lever and Go” technology makes it simple to calibrate and GoTo the first target.

The HAZ31 mount can be controlled through a variety of platforms, including Windows PCs with ASCOM/Commander, MacOS software with a third-party INDI driver, smartphones or tablets with iOptron Commander Lite or SkySafari, and even Raspberry Pi devices with INDI driver. Whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or just starting out, the HAZ31 mount is the perfect choice for an unparalleled astronomy experience.
