Visit HAE29B-EC iMate is the top-of-the-range version of iOptron's famous HAE29B mount. It incorporates a high-resolution encoder on AD axis (RA) for very good tracking, potentially without autoguiding for short focal lengths (for instruments over 700mm focal length I would still recommend autoguiding), in addition to Strain Wave Gear technology and on-board computer iMate. This mount is designed for demanding astrophotographers looking for maximum performance in an ultra-compact format.
The great advantage of the EC version is its presence of an encoder on the RA axisThe result is remarkable tracking accuracy, even without guidance. This makes it possible to achieve long exposures with a tracking quality rarely achieved in this weight category. Perfect for nomads, or those who want to lighten their setup without sacrificing performance.

Monture harmonique nomade pour l'astrophotographie et le visuel : 13 kg sans contrepoids, 18 kg avec, pour 3,9 kg de tête. Utilisable en équatorial ou en azimutal. Capacité conseillée en astrophotographie : 13,5 kg, soit 75 % de la charge annoncée, pour garder un suivi précis.
Version B: Built-in iMate controller (mini-computer running KStars/Ekos), controllable from a PC or tablet without a cable. Version EC: High-resolution encoder on the AD axis and RPEC correction, for longer exposures without autoguiding. Electronic brake on both axes and AC adapter included.
Non, jusqu'à 13 kg d'instrument. Au-delà, et jusqu'à 18 kg, il faut ajouter une barre et un contrepoids (Ø 20 × 200 mm, filetage 3/8″-16, barre en option). Disponible dans notre catalogue : iOptron P-SGP-CWS 20 mm Counterweight Bar, iOptron 3006-10 4.5 kg Counterweight for 20 mm Rod.
L'iOptron HAE29B-EC s'alimente en 12 V DC, 5 A (fiche 5,5 × 2,1 mm), adaptateur secteur fourni. Consommation : 0,6 A en suivi, 1 A en GoTo. L'alimentation est fournie. L'adaptateur secteur livré est prévu pour un usage à l'intérieur ; sur le terrain, utilisez une batterie 12 V.
L'iOptron HAE29B-EC est vendue sans trépied. Dans notre catalogue : iOptron MiniPier 8-inch Column Extension 8040-8. A column extension is recommended with a long tube, so that it does not touch the feet when aiming near the pole.
L'iOptron HAE29B-EC se pilote avec un smartphone ou une tablette en Wi-Fi ou un ordinateur en USB (ASCOM, INDI). Pour l'autoguidage (port ST4), une lunette guide comme la 52 Scope guide or the Sky-Watcher EVOGUIDE-50ED is appropriate.
L'iOptron HAE29B-EC est proposée sans accessoire, avec la raquette Go2Nova, ou avec l'iPolar (viseur polaire électronique pour une mise en station rapide).
