The Revolution in Astrophotography
HDM4000 Mount (Soon)
Hercules HDM400 is the much stronger and rigid mount in it's category.
Harmonic drives reducer have huge advantages compare to worm gears and direct drives mounts :
-
Much highier torque 300Nm rated (30kg@1meter off balance) on RA and DEC
-
Work without the need for counterweight
-
Highier payload capacity
-
No maintenance or lubrification needed
-
Much longer life cycle
-
Virtually Zero Backlash
-
Can hold 2 (or more) telescopes of differents weight without having to care about balancing
-
Can be setup in Equatorial or AltaZ by using different pier
-
Our HDM series is all integrated, so you just have to bring the mount and connect it.
-
High resolution BLDC 3 phases Servo motors (these are big for less reduction)
-
PEC and Point XP pointing model are available for the best performances
-
High Resolution Absolute encoder on both axis available (Option)
