With the HAE series, iOptron presents a mount that uses dual strain wave gearing on both axes, eliminating the need for heavy counterweights and a bulky counterweight shaft. Payload capacity can still be increased by adding optional counterweights when required. The black anodized, CNC-machined metal housing combines a refined appearance with a rigid and durable mechanical platform, suitable for demanding astronomical use. A distinctive feature is the electronic friction brake, which immediately stops all mount movement if the power supply is accidentally interrupted.

The iOptron HAZ130 Alt-Az mount features dual strain wave gear drives and represents the highest payload-capacity SWG mount in the iOptron lineup. It is engineered to support extremely large instruments, including telescopes as substantial as a 20-inch f/8 RC truss optical tube, with a maximum payload capacity of up to 60 kg. The mount provides full GoTo pointing and Alt-Az tracking, controlled either via the included 8411 hand controller with OLED display or through independent computer control.
