IOPTRON iEQ30 GoTo German Equatorial Mount, Tripod and Accessories
An exceptional offer for a portable, compact and sturdy mount.
When introduced in 2012 this mount was a state of the art motorized GoTo Equatorial mount with GPS technology suitable for small to medium telescopes (30 lb. payload w/o weights). Includes catalog of nearly 360,000 objects.
This is the original model purchased April 2012. Used frequently so contains some cosmetic nicks and scratches (esp. counterweight shaft). However, stored inside and works.
Includes unique accessory rechargeable counterweight battery pack. Can use instead of usual counterweight to operate power eliminating other power sources. Battery conveniently stores in small, hard Pelican case (included).
Also included is iOptron’s hard carry case for equatorial head plus a convenient tripod soft carry case allowing storage of accessories not fitting iOptron’s hard case.
iOptron has discontinued both this mount and the counterweight battery pack.
