Explore UMi 20S

Portable heavy-lift imaging

A compact mount that carries serious imaging rigs. The UMi 20S pairs a 5.4 kg mount head with a 22–30 kg payload range, balancing field portability with capacity for multi-instrument setups. It is designed for guided astrophotography where higher payload and transportability matter.

High payload with light head weight

Carry heavy imaging trains while keeping the mount itself easy to move. The UMi 20S specifies a payload range of 22–30 kg and a mount head weight of 5.4 kg, letting you mount larger scopes, cameras and accessories without an overly bulky head to transport.

Strain wave drive for guided tracking

Strain wave gearing and a dual-servo system provide torque and responsive control needed for guided long exposures. The RA uses a type-20 strain wave gear and the Dec uses a type-17, with quoted periodic error of plus or minus 10 arc-seconds. Direct drive and dual-servo design support modern guided imaging workflows.

Remote-ready operation and protection

Designed for remote or automated setups, the mount includes a mechanical home position for reliable return-to-home and a dual-axis anti-collision system to help protect gear. These features suit unattended imaging or observatory use where predictable positioning and safety matter.
