AM5N Harmonic Equatorial Mount

The INDUS ASTROSHOP AM5N Harmonic Equatorial Mount by ZWO is a next-generation portable mount designed for astrophotographers and observers who want high performance without the bulk of traditional systems. Combining advanced harmonic drive technology with modern electronics, it offers precision tracking in a compact and travel-friendly design.

Capable of carrying up to 13 kg without counterweights—and up to 20 kg with them—the AM5N delivers strong payload support while maintaining portability. Its lightweight build makes it ideal for users who need powerful performance in the field or at home.

The mount supports both equatorial and alt-az configurations, allowing seamless switching between astrophotography and visual observation. An improved strain wave gear system enhances tracking smoothness and reduces periodic error, resulting in more accurate and stable performance.

Upgraded internal electronics provide better control responsiveness and real-time system feedback. The mount integrates smoothly with ASIAIR, computer-based control setups, and ZWO’s dedicated hand controller, giving users flexible control options.

With near-silent operation, no need for meridian flips in certain setups, and reliable tracking capability, the INDUS ASTROSHOP AM5N is a powerful solution for those seeking professional-level performance in a compact and easy-to-use mount.
