Its DualBearing system supports a substantial 5 kg load, while the entire unit weighs just 780 g. With both USB and Bluetooth connectivity, the 155 mm by 120 mm Camelot integrates directly into your ASCOM-compatible imaging workflow, enabling automated, multi-target acquisition plans in a single night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDualBearing System: Supporting a 5 kg Imaging Train\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the Camelot is the DualBearing system, which uses two internal bearings to provide rigid support for your camera, filter wheel, and other accessories. This design minimizes flexure even with imaging trains weighing up to 5 kg. RB Focus says this lets the compact rotator carry heavy imaging trains of 3 to 5 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirectDrive Motor with 0.1° Rotational Resolution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Camelot's DirectDrive (direct transmission) avoids the mechanical play that RB Focus says is common in rotators with mechanical transmissions, and gives its 0.1-degree resolution.
