APM Professional Mount APM-GE 300 with SiTech Controller
Our professional APM GE mountings starts at a point where at other manufacturers mounts the carrying capacity is too low. The APM-GE 300 our biggest mount has hollow shafts with a inner diameter of 90 mm and a outer diameter of 140 mm. So the mount has a very high photographic carrying capacity of 660 lb.
This mount has been developed for large Cassegrain telescopes and RC-Telescopes from 24" aperture onwards but is also a perfect match for long and heavy refractors like our large APM-LZOS apo refractors.
The mount is equipped with high precision wormwheels with 350 mm diameter for a extrem precisely tracking.
