IOptron GEM45 GoTo mount with LiteRoc tripod

Main characteristics:

• Its design gives you an incredible 2.8 weight-to-load capacity ratio. This compact 7 kilogram mount accurately and safely carries a 20 kilogram optic with accessories
• With the built-in electronic Polar finder (iPolar), correct alignment of the mount is very easy, even when the North Star is not visible.
• Thanks to the large clamping levers of the quick-lock system, it can be easily released or attached even when wearing gloves. The internal cable management system prevents cables from tangling or breaking.
• It features a new patent-pending universal self-centering plate (USCS) compatible with standard prism rails type Losmandy and Vixen.
• The GEM45 mount uses a reliable, energy-efficient stepper motor drive system.
• A database of over 212 000 objects with star identification, integrated GPS, a large control knob and optional wifi (requires an iStarFi adapter) are just some of the advanced GoTo system features of this mount.

The LiteRoc tripod is a recent development from iOptron. It is as light as possible but with the necessary stability. Therefore, it is well suited for transportable mounts for observers and astrophotographers outings.

Compared to the previous version, the LiteRoc tripod has a more stable support for the extendable legs and larger clamping levers.

The upper part of the tripod legs has a diameter of 45 mm (1.75") and the lower section of 38 mm (1.5"). This makes the extendable legs as strong as the previous 2" tripod legs.

Thanks to a narrower top design, the LiteRoc is lighter.
