  • Sky-Watcher Wave 100i w/Steel tripod and extension

    The Sky-Watcher Wave 100i Pro Mount with Steel Tripod & Extension Tube Kit delivers an impressive 22 lb instrument capacity from a mount head weighing just 9.5 lbs. This complete kit includes a heavy-duty 2-inch steel tripod and pier extension, providing a stable, vibration-free platform for imaging anywhere from 0 to 90 degrees latitude.

    9.5 lb Head with a 22 lb Payload Capacity

    At the core of the Wave 100i is its strain wave drive system, which provides high torque and precision tracking in an exceptionally compact form factor. This allows the 9.5 lb mount head to carry a 22 lb telescope and camera setup without the need for counterweights, creating an ideal grab-and-go astrophotography rig. For heavier setups, the capacity can be increased to 33 lbs with an optional counterweight kit.

    Dual EQ & AZ Modes for 0-90° Latitude

    The Wave 100i operates in both German Equatorial (EQ) mode for serious imaging and a simpler Alt-Azimuth (AZ) mode for visual observing or solar tracking. Its unique design allows for a full latitude range of 0 to 90 degrees, making it fully operational at any location on Earth. A red backlit latitude display and bubble level simplify the setup and polar alignment process in the dark.

    2-inch Steel Tripod & Extension for Stability

    This kit pairs the portable Wave 100i head with a robust foundation designed for demanding imaging sessions. The tripod features 2-inch diameter stainless steel legs and weighs 16.5 lbs, effectively damping vibrations. The included pier extension raises the mount head, providing critical clearance for longer optical tubes to prevent collisions with the tripod legs when slewing near the zenith.

    Wireless GoTo Control via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

    Forget tangled cables and outdated hand controllers. The Wave 100i has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for complete wireless control from your smartphone or tablet via the SynScan Pro App. The app provides full GoTo slewing, tracking rate selection, and assists with polar alignment, all from a modern, intuitive interface. For added safety, the mount features an RA power-off brake to prevent your telescope from swinging freely if power is lost.

    Wave 100i vs. Wave 150i

    The primary difference between the two mounts is payload capacity and physical weight, allowing you to choose the right balance for your equipment.

    • Sky-Watcher Wave 100i: The more portable option, with a 9.5 lb head weight and a 22 lb payload capacity (33 lbs with counterweights). It is ideal for setups like a wide-field 80mm refractor or a DSLR with a 200mm lens.
    • Sky-Watcher Wave 150i: For heavier instrument packages, the 150i has a 12.8 lb head and supports a 33 lb payload (55 lbs with counterweights). This is the better choice for larger refractors, compact Newtonians, or Schmidt-Cassegrains.

  • What kind of telescope can I use with the Sky-Watcher Wave 100i for imaging?

    The Wave 100i's 22 lb payload capacity is excellent for many popular imaging setups. It can comfortably carry a high-end 80mm or 100mm apochromatic refractor with a camera, filter wheel, and guide scope. It's also a great match for a DSLR or mirrorless camera with telephoto lenses up to 400mm.

    Do I need counterweights for the Wave 100i mount?

    For payloads up to 22 lbs, no counterweights are required, which is the main advantage of the strain wave design for portability. To utilize the mount's maximum 33 lb capacity, you will need to purchase the optional counterweight and shaft kit.

    How do I power the Sky-Watcher Wave 100i in the field?

    The mount requires a 12V DC power source capable of supplying at least 2A. A portable lithium battery pack or a deep-cycle battery is the most common solution for field use. Note that a power supply is not included with the mount.

    What is the benefit of the included extension tube for the Wave 100i?

    The extension tube raises the mount head higher off the tripod. This is crucial for preventing a longer telescope, like a refractor, from striking a tripod leg when it's pointed at or near the zenith (straight up). It ensures you have full freedom of movement across the entire sky.

    Can I use the Wave 100i for visual observing as well as imaging?

    Absolutely. The mount can be switched to a simple Alt-Azimuth (AZ) mode, which is very intuitive for visual use. In this mode, you can slew the telescope up, down, left, and right, making it a versatile platform for both quick visual sessions and serious astrophotography.

    How do I polar align the Wave 100i without a traditional polar scope?

    The Wave 100i is designed for modern polar alignment routines using software. The SynScan Pro app, which controls the mount, includes a digital polar alignment routine that guides you through the process using a star or plate solving. This method is often faster and more accurate than using a polar scope.
