Product Description

It is recommended to use a counterweight of ≤5 kg. When using a 5 kg counterweight, the lever arm should be installed within the range of 20 cm to 30 cm.For counterweights of other masses, the installation position can be calculated as follows:Assume the counterweight mass is m kg. The allowable lever arm length L is defined by: 10 N·m ≤ m × g × L ≤ 15 N·mwhere g = 9.8 m/s2, which can be approximated as 10 m/s2. For example, if a 2 kg counterweight is used, the allowable range of L is from 10 N·m / (2 × 10 m/s2) = 0.5 m to 15 N·m / (2 × 10 m/s2) = 0.75 m.

 
*Note: The recommended operating voltage for the ZWO Harmonic Equatorial Mount is 12V. When the actual input voltage is below 10.8V, the mount will emit a beeping alarm to indicate under-voltage condition. To ensure proper functioning of the equipment, we recommend using the official ZWO power adapter and an appropriately sized power cable.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ellie J. ★★★★★

The lever arm adjustment is surprisingly intuitive, and I had my setup dialed in within minutes even with a heavy 5kg counterweight. Tracking feels smooth and solid, no vibration issues during my first long exposure session.

Violet ★★★★★

I was worried about balancing the 5 kg counterweight, but the 20-30 cm lever arm range made dialing it in surprisingly simple. The harmonic drive is noticeably quieter than my old worm gear mount.

John ★★★★★

Setup was straightforward and the 20-30 cm lever arm range with my 5 kg counterweight gives me confidence the setup is balanced right. Tracking holds steady even through longer exposures, which is exactly what I needed for my deep-sky sessions.
