Description

The CubePro GoTo AltAzimuth Mount is the ideal portable mount to go with your traveling OTAs, such as a 60mm or 80mm ED refractor, a 90mm or 100mm Mak or 114mm Newtonian reflector. It can also be used to mount solar scopes. It features a SmartStar computerized control system with 130,000 objects and 8-line backlit LCD screen. A 32 channel internal GPS, easy alignment procedure and accurate GoTo and auto-tracking minimize the setup time. 1" stainless steel tripod legs with metal platform and metal hinges makes the mount very sturdy. The compact design of the tripod and the mount makes it easy to carry around in a travel case, and the mount assembly time takes less than 5 minutes. The standard dovetail makes this mount compatible with many different OTAs. CubePro is compatible with all ASCOM compliant planetarium programs and many other programs such as Sky X, Starry Night and Voyager.

      Comments about iOptron CubePro Telescope Mount:

      I have severy mounts including expensive ones, but this little CubePro is the one I used the most. It is so easy to use and can be put in my suitcase for air travelling. It hold my 102ED nicely. I damaged the HC last year but iOptron kindly sent me a replacement without charge, except $10 S&H (within warranty period).

        Comments about iOptron CubePro Telescope Mount:

        Having read many reviews on the Cube Pro i was a little leary about it but went for it anyway. All I can say is that from the first reviews there have been many improvements in it quality Ioptron is listening to the users and making it better. Just make sure it is LEVEL and it tracks great

        Adequate for casual Visual GOTO

            Comments about iOptron CubePro Telescope Mount:

            I bought this for use as a portable, visual, GOTO mount. It seems adequate for this application with a 7# telescope. Lots of slop in azimuth and a 4 to 5 second stabilization after focusing. I would definitely NOT use this mount for astrophotography.

            iOptron Cube Pro: Nice, but Imperfect

            Comments about iOptron CubePro Telescope Mount:

            Overall, this is a nice little grab-and-go mount.
            The tripod is amazingly sturdy and steady for such a small leg diameter. Getting the unit aligned for the go-to function was challenging. It kept choosing alignment stars not visible in my location.

            Although the unit is supposed to support up to 9 lbs, the RA clutch did not hold my 80mm refractor firmly- it slipped out of position a few times. Also, the instruction book omits directions on how to use the counterweight supplied with the mount.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
