The WAVE mounts from Skywatcher use a strain wave gearbox with high torque and a compact design. Therefore, they offer high precision and performance at an affordable price.
The gearbox design has several advantages, including minimal play and a compact design with a remarkable payload-to-weight ratio. This is ideal for mobile astrophotography.
The WAVE mounts from Sky-Watcher also feature EQ and AZ tracking modes with RA and DEC output positions, dual-fit mounting saddles for standard dovetail plates, a latitude range of 0–90º, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality, an RA clutch function when the power is off, as well as a red-illuminated latitude display and bubble level to significantly simplify your setup routine.

The WAVE carbon tripod was specially developed for the Sky-Watcher Wave-100i and Wave-150i mounts. The mount head is simply placed on top and secured with the 3/8" photo thread screw. The carbon fibre tripod is particularly light and torsion-resistant.
Optionally, a pier extension can be attached between the tripod and the mount head to increase the distance between the mount and the tripod legs.
