This advanced gear system supports an impressive 4kg (8.8 lbs) payload—enough for a full-frame DSLR and telephoto lens—without requiring a counterweight.

This system provides exceptional torque and zero backlash, allowing the mount to handle a 4kg camera rig with stability.

It slows the tracking to half the sidereal rate, effectively balancing the motion of the stars against a stationary foreground.
