  • iOptron HAZ130 Dual SWG Altazimuth Mount

    The iOptron HAZ130 Dual SWG Altazimuth Mount uses dual strain wave gears to carry a 132 lbs (60 kg) payload. The all-metal, CNC-machined mount weighs 70 lbs (32 kg) and slews at up to 6°/sec. It has the GOTONOVA/Commander control system with the Go2Nova 8411 handset, built-in GPS, a 0-180° altitude range and an electronic friction brake.

    Dual Strain Wave Gear: A 132 lb Payload with Zero Counterweights

    The HAZ130 has a strain wave gear on each axis, driven by stepper motors. Tracking is automatic.

    As an altazimuth mount it uses no counterweight; it is rated at 132 lbs (60 kg).

    A 1.88 Payload-to-Weight Ratio: 70 lb Mount, 132 lb Capacity

    The HAZ130 delivers a payload-to-weight ratio of 1.88, from 132 lbs of payload on a 70 lb mount (our calculation).

    6°/sec Slewing Across a Full 0-180° Altitude Range

    The HAZ130 slews at up to 6 degrees per second. The altitude range is 0° to 180° and the azimuth range 0° to 360°.

    For slew protection, there is an altitude 0º position limit.

    Electronic Friction Brake: Payload Protection at Power-Off

    The power-off brake is an electronic friction brake.

    Go2Nova 8411 Handset, Built-in GPS and USB

    The control system is GOTONOVA/Commander and the handset as the Go2Nova 8411 with OLED display. There is no box list, so it is not confirmed whether the handset is included. GPS is built in.

    The communication port is USB, and the firmware is upgradeable.

    12V DC Power System: 0.6A Tracking Consumption

    The HAZ130 runs on 12V DC through a 5.5/2.1mm DC plug. It draws 0.6A when tracking and 1.2A during GoTo, and the power requirement is DC12V-5A.

    A 100V ~ 240V AC adapter is included, for indoor use only.

    Losmandy Saddle and 3xM10 Base on a 410mm Circle

    The HAZ130 has a Losmandy dovetail saddle.

    The mounting base is 450mm minimum, with 3xM10 threaded holes on a 410mm diameter circle.

    CNC Machined Body: All-Metal Construction for -20°C Operation

    The HAZ130 is all metal, CNC machined, with an anodized black finish. It is rated for -20ºC to 40ºC (-4ºF to 104ºF).

    It has a high precision level bubble (DIV2/1000).

  • What is the main advantage of the iOptron HAZ130's dual strain wave gear system?

    The 70 lb HAZ130 is rated at a 132 lb (60 kg) payload, with dual strain wave gears and no counterweight. No backlash figure is stated.

    Can the iOptron HAZ130 be used for long-exposure astrophotography?

    The HAZ130 is an altazimuth mount. Altazimuth tracking does not compensate for field rotation, which limits long exposures; an equatorial mount avoids it.

    Does the iOptron HAZ130 require counterweights?

    No. The HAZ130 takes no counterweight; the payload rating is 132 lbs (60 kg).

    How does the built-in GPS on the HAZ130 simplify setup?

    The HAZ130 has built-in GPS.

    What kind of pier or tripod is required for the iOptron HAZ130?

    Use a pier or tripod rated for the 70 lb mount plus your payload. The mount's base has a specific bolt pattern: three M10 threaded holes on a 410mm diameter circle. You must ensure your pier top plate or tripod adapter matches this pattern and can handle the total weight.

    What do I need to power the HAZ130 in the field?

    Power is DC12V-5A through a 5.5/2.1mm DC plug. The mount draws 0.6A tracking and 1.2A during GoTo. The included AC adapter is for indoor use only.

    Is the Go2Nova 8411 hand controller included with the HAZ130?

    The HAZ130 handset is the Go2Nova 8411 with OLED display, but there is no box list, so it is not confirmed whether it is included. The only item stated as included is the 100V ~ 240V AC adapter.

    How do I control the HAZ130 with a computer?

    The mount has a USB communication port and the GOTONOVA/Commander control system.
