PlaneWave Instruments L-350 mount is offers the same amazing performance as their larger L-500/L-600 mounts but in a smaller package for smaller sized telescopes.
The L-350 can accommodate 45kg/100lbs of instrument payload and can be used in an Alt-Az or Equatorial configuration. All L-series mounts are designed and manufactured by PlaneWave Instruments with zero backlash and zero periodic error, virtually silent motion and slew speeds of up to 50 degrees per second making it ideal for satellite tracking.
The L-Series mounts combines versatility, simplicity and affordability by combining all the technology of their observatory class telescopes into a compact stand-alone mount. In its Alt/Az configuration it is considerably more compact than its equatorial counterpart, allowing a larger telescope to fit in a smaller enclosure. Unlike traditional German Equatorial mounts, there are no meridian flips to deal with, and no large protruding counterweights to create a dangerous hazard in a public observatory. Alt/Az is more intuitive to use and no polar alignment is needed. Besides, it is the way the pros do it! For added flexibility, the L-Series mounts can be installed in either Alt/Az, or equatorial mode with the optional wedge accessory.

- Load capacity of 100 lbs (45 kg)
- Direct-drive motors on each axis for smooth, fast, and virtually silent movement of the telescope
