Building upon the remarkable success of the acclaimed iOptron CEM60 centre balance equatorial mount, we are thrilled to unveil two new groundbreaking offerings – the CEM70. This innovative mount is poised to set new standards in the medium payload segment, delivering unparalleled performance and a host of advanced features designed to elevate your astrophotography and observational experiences.
Despite their relatively compact size, these medium payload mounts pack a powerful punch, capable of effortlessly supporting payloads up to 31.8 kg. Precise GOTO pointing and accurate tracking (PE <±5 arcsec) are hallmarks of these mounts, ensuring that your observational and imaging experiences are free from frustrating inaccuracies and drift. The CEM70 is a solid performer catering to the needs of both observers and imagers alike. The internal iPolar electronic polar scope simplifies alignment, and the easy lock drive gear offers convenience even when wearing gloves. The advanced cable management system keeps cables organized, reducing the risk of tangling and enhancing the setup's reliability and durability.
