After the extremely enthusiastic reception of the AM5 assembly among astrophotography enthusiasts, the ZWO company developed a new model marked AM3, meeting the needs of users looking for a assembly with compact dimensions for precise guidance of sets based on smaller optical tubes .
As with its larger counterpart, the ZWO AM3 enables operation in both equatorial (EQ) and azimuthal (AZ) modes. The first is dedicated especially to the needs of astrophotography, and the second will prove to be a convenient observation configuration. The source of the drive are NEMA 35 stepper motors with a resolution of 0.17", and the total gear ratio is as much as 300:1, which allows you to maintain full control over the set. via a handheld controller or application, as well as via a computer with software compatible with ASCOM, INDI and SkySafari controllers As befits top-class equipment, this assembly is also fully compatible with the extremely popular ASIAIR™ series controllers .
The enormity of this product's capabilities is combined with its compact dimensions and low weight. The head allows you to connect the axis of counterweights, thanks to which you can increase the maximum load from 8 to 13 kilograms.
