Hutech AZM-100
Motorized Alt-Az Mount
The Hutech motorized mount is a light-weight
alt-az mount (AZM-100) capable of carrying up
to a 3 kg load and supplied to be mounted on a
standard 3/8-16 thread photographic tripod. The
AZM-100 may also be mounted on a photo tripod
with 1/4-20 threads with the use of a
thread-adapter insert. Electric slewing in
both axes allows for easy centering and
tracking of objects without the vibration
caused by manually manipulating the tripod.
This product is ideal for light-weight scope
owners who desire the smooth movement of
electric slewing but do not need a heavier
astronomical equatorial mount or wish to use
the mount for terrestrial viewing.
Camera-standard 1/4-20 screws allow the
mounting of light-weight scopes with or
without rings (two screws separated by about
3.7" are provided). In addition, standard
cameras, camcorders, and binocular mounts can
be accomodated.
