  • Saddle Powerbox Puck for ZWO AM5 and AM3 Mount

    The Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox Puck provides a robust, integrated mounting solution for attaching the Saddle Powerbox directly to the ZWO AM3 and AM5 strain wave mounts. This simple adapter is the key to creating a clean, streamlined imaging rig by co-locating your power and data hub with your optical tube. It eliminates loose, dangling cables from your camera, focuser, and guide scope, which are a primary source of tracking errors and equipment snags.

    Secure, Integrated Power for ZWO AM3 & AM5 Mounts

    Designed for a precise fit, the Saddle Powerbox Puck allows you to mount the Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox securely onto the side of the ZWO AM3 or AM5 saddle plate. This transforms your power management from a separate, awkwardly placed unit into a seamless part of the mount itself. By keeping all connections short and contained, you minimize the risk of cables catching on the mount or tripod during a meridian flip, ensuring your imaging session runs smoothly all night long.

  • What is the purpose of the Saddle Powerbox Puck for ZWO mounts?

    This puck is a specialized adapter that allows you to securely attach a Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox to the side of a ZWO AM3 or ZWO AM5 mount's saddle. Its purpose is to improve cable management by placing your power distribution hub directly on the moving part of your mount.

    Does this adapter work with any mount other than the ZWO AM3 and AM5?

    No, this puck is specifically designed and machined to fit the mounting pattern and dimensions of the ZWO AM3 and AM5 mounts only. It is not a universal adapter and will not work with other mount brands or models.

    How does the Saddle Powerbox Puck improve cable management on my ZWO AM5 setup?

    By mounting the Saddle Powerbox on the puck, all the cables for your camera, guide camera, focuser, and dew heaters can be plugged into a single point that moves with the telescope. This prevents long loops of cable from hanging down, reducing the risk of them snagging on the tripod or mount base as it tracks across the sky, especially during a meridian flip.

    I'm building a portable rig with a ZWO AM3 for travel. Is this puck a good accessory?

    Absolutely. For a portable setup, minimizing complexity is key. The Saddle Powerbox Puck helps create a clean, integrated system that is faster to set up and tear down. It reduces the number of loose cables you have to manage in the dark, making for a much smoother field experience.

    Is the Saddle Powerbox included with the Saddle Powerbox Puck?

    No, this product is only the adapter puck. The Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox must be purchased separately.

    Is installation of the Saddle Powerbox Puck difficult?

    Installation is straightforward. The puck is designed to attach to the existing mounting points on the ZWO AM3 and AM5 saddle. You will then attach your Saddle Powerbox to the puck. All necessary hardware is typically included.
