iOptron CEM40
This mount is the next generation of center-balanced equatorial mounts. The functionality of the mount is superb. Weighing in at only 15.8lbs., this mount can support a payload of up to 40lbs.! That’s incredible! I’m very satisfied with it.
iOptron tri-pier
I use The iOptron Cem40 in combination with the iOptron tri-pier. The payload is 100kg and it is a very solid tripod.
Sky-Watcher EQM-35 Pro
This was the first mount I bought. It is a SynScan computerised GOTO modular Equatorial mount. You can also use it as a travel mount, because you can remove the DEC Axis together with the heavy counterweight shaft and counterweights. The payload capacity is around 10 kg.
For starting this hobby and for small telescopes it is a fine mount.
