iOptron found that there was a way to remove unnecessary bulk from the mount, resulting in the iOptron GEM45G having an amazing 2.7 payload to mount weight ratio, the mount weighing 15.8 lb. while supporting up to 45 lb. The GoTo technology then can accurately locate and track an object with 45 lb. of equipment attached. This mount utilizes a reliable stepper motor drive system equipped with low power consumption technology to keep things running smoothly. This iOptron German Equatorial mount ties contemporary technology and a classic mount design together in a lightweight and compact package that is sure to please observers and astrophotographers!
The GEM45G has a CNC machined body that has been anodized red and black and includes large levers as part of the quick-lock drive engagement system. These levers give users the ability to snap gears into place, even when the cold nights call for thick gloves. Furthermore, the design of the GEM45G mount has an advanced, internal cable management system that will greatly minimize the risk of cables getting snagged during tracking.
