The iOptron GEM45 is an innovative next-generation German equatorial mount. Utilizing experience gained during development of the CEM series, iOptron was able to remove unnecessary bulk giving the GEM45 an incredible 2.5 payload to mount weight ratio.

This compact 7.9kg mount can precisely GOTO an object and track with up to 20kg of gear onboard. With its integrated iPolar electronic polar scope, polar alignment is a snap, even when the pole star is obscured. Large levers on the quick-lock drive engagement system make it easy to snap its drive gears into place even when wearing gloves. The gears are spring-loaded for reduced backlash.

There is little chance of your cables getting snagged with the GEM45's internal advanced cable management system. A 6" dual dovetail saddle accommodates Losmandy and Vixen style dovetail plates.

The GEM45 mounts utilize reliable stepper motor drive systems with iOptron's low power consumption technology. The new LiteRoc 1.75" tripod delivers rock solid stability in a lighter, more compact package. A 212,000+ object library with star identification, GPS, Wi-Fi (requires optional iStarFi adapter) are a few of the desirable features standard on the GEM45 mount.
