Weighing only 4 kg and carrying capacity of 8 kg without counterweight (up to 13 kg with counterweight), this is the solution for those who want to achieve maximum results with minimal resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZWO applies harmonic drive technology derived from robotics, which ensures extremely smooth tracking and minimal backlash. The AM3 works both in <strong>equatorial mode<\/strong> (for astrophotography) as in <strong>alt-azimuth mode<\/strong> (for visual observation or planetary work), with a simple switch between the two. A status LED clearly shows which mode is active: red for EQ, green for AZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each mount is individually tested by ZWO and delivered with a guaranteed <strong>periodic error of less than \u00b120 arcsec<\/strong>. Combined with an ST-4 guide port and full integration with the <strong>ASIAIR<\/strong> this is a mount you can work with professionally right away - without the hassle of cables or laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AM3 has a universal dovetail saddle (Vixen and Losmandy) and works with virtually any telescope in the light to mid-range range. Add a <strong>carbon tripod<\/strong> add (like the ZWO TC40) and you have a complete, travel-friendly setup that you can literally carry in a backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In short:<\/strong> a smart choice for astrophotographers seeking portability, reliability and modern controls in one compact mount.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\" data-start=\"222\" data-end=\"406\">The ZWO AM3 is a super lightweight harmonic mount for astrophotography.
