HIGH TORQUE. HIGH PRECISION. HIGH PORTABILITY - WAVE CARBON FIBRE TRIPOD INCLUDED!!

Taking advantage of the strain wave design with its high torque and compact construction, Sky-Watcher's WAVE mounts deliver high precision and power in an affordable and portable package. With exclusive features found on no other strain wave mounts, the new WAVE series is a serious update and upgrade to Sky-Watcher’s already immensely popular family of astronomy mount platforms.

The Sky-Watcher WAVE-150i is built based on a strain wave or harmonic gearing design. This drive gear design provides a number of benefits including highly precise tracking with minimal backlash for capturing long exposure images, and a compact design with a remarkable payload to weight ratio for the use of various equipment while still being convenient for transportation.

The WAVE-100i, boasting 15kg of payload capacity (25kg with optional counterweight kit), whilst being incredibly compact and lightweight. Sky-Watcher’s WAVE mounts also feature both EQ and AZ tracking modes with RA and DEC home positions, Dual-Fit Saddles, 0–90º latitude range, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth capability, RA power-off braking,  and a red backlit latitude display and bubble level to make your setup routine that much easier.
