The AM7 is ZWO's most powerful mount, featuring an industry-standard strain wave gear. This makes the mount particularly compact yet very resilient. It can carry 20 kilograms without counterweights. This is ideal for mobile astrophotography. If you want to use the mount in a stationary position, you can equip it with optional counterweights and even load it with up to 30 kilograms.
Stepper motors with toothed belts are used in the primary gear on both axes. The periodic error is less than 10 arc seconds and there is no backlash (gear play when switching the direction of movement). The AM7 is particularly smooth-running anyway. Each mount is individually measured and delivered with a PE test report.
- The AM7 supports both parallactic mode for photography and azimuth mode for visual observation and can be used worldwide thanks to its 0° to 90° elevation adjustment.
- The mounting saddle allows the use of prism rails according to Vixen or Losmandy standards. This means that almost any telescope can be mounted.
- Power supply: DC 12 volts, 3 amps minimum, plug: D5.5x2.1mm, centre positive
ZWO stands for wireless networking of all important components: smart astrophotography! For this purpose, the mount is equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The AM7 can thus be controlled wirelessly with the Sky Atlas app for iOS or Android or connect wirelessly to ZWO's ASIAIR computer.
If you prefer, the mount can also be operated without a Smartphone using the hand controller.
