ZWO jointly developed the strain wave gearing system with well-known domestic manufacturers based on the actual needs of astrophotographers. It comes with very low periodic errors, smooth gearing and high torque. The guiding accuracy is 0.5 -0.8 arc seconds, which makes the AM5 mount extremely suitable for astrophotography.
ZWO’s AM5 EQ/Alt-Az mount head features a power brake system. If there is a power outage while using your telescope, the AM5 mount power failure protection design will keep it from falling and being damaged.
This feature is critical when it comes to the safety of your imaging equipment. You can keep your equipment balanced and safe by activating the brake system to stop the mount’s movements.
The strain wave gearing system designed by ZWO is the result of collaboration with well-known manufacturers, and it was created with astrophotographers in mind.
The very low periodic errors, smooth gearing, and high torque are just a few of the amazing features of the ZWO AM5 mount that make it a must-have addition to astrophotography setups.
This ZWO mount has a guiding accuracy of 0.5 – 0.8 arc seconds. Performance is guaranteed by ZWO before each mount leaves the factory by measuring it and applying the unique PE curve!
This ZWO AM5 mount has a latitude adjustment range of 0-90°. Adjust the pitch angle grip for the first gear to achieve a range of 0° to 60°.
Loosen the hex-head screw and adjust the pitch angle grip to 45° to 90° for the second gear. Astroimagers can use the AM5 in equatorial mode in both low and high latitude regions in addition to using it in alt-azimuth mode.
