Weighing only 4.5 kg, it can carry a payload of up to 12 kg. Like its predecessors, the CEM26 was designed with portability in mind. Precision stepper motor, 1.IOptron CEM26 with iPolar and 1.5" Tripod Introducing iOptron´s new compact next-generation center-balance equatorial mounts - the CEM26!

GEM45 mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems with our low power consumption technology. A new, patent pending Universal Self-Centering Saddle (USCS) accommodates Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates. There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the GEM45’s internal advanced cable management system. Large levers on the quick-lock drive engagement system make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. With its integrated electronic polar scope (iPolar TM), polar alignment is a snap, even when the pole star is obscured. This compact 15.8lb mount can precisely GOTO an object and track with up to 45lbs of gear onboard.

Utilizing experiences gained during development of our CEM series, we were able to remove unnecessary bulk giving the GEM45 an incredible 2.8 payload to mount weight ratio. A sharp looking CNC body is the first indicator the GEM45 is a top quality mount in both form and function. Innovative ideas applied to a time tested design, the iOptron® GEM45 next generation German equatorial mounts.
