The Sky-Watcher Wave 100i is built based on a strain wave design, also known as harmonic gearing. This drive gear design harbours a number of benefits including highly precise tracking with minimal backlash for capturing long exposure images, and a compact design with a remarkable payload to weight ratio for the use of various equipment while still being convenient for transportation.

10kg Payload Capacity
The Sky-Watcher Wave 100i weighs only 4.3kg, yet it can withstand a native payload capacity of 10kg without counterweights, but up to 15kg with a counterweight.
Transmission Ratio of 300:1 Ensures Smooth Slewing and Tracking
The Wave 100i has a transmission ratio of 324:1, which represents a relatively high level of tracking and slewing accuracy since motor torque and rotation is divided into smaller increments, lessening any impact of jolts between rotations that could be apparent the longer exposures become. The maximum slew rate of the 100i is 7.5° per second.
Works at any Latitude
The Sky-Watcher Wave 100i has a working latitude range of 0° to 90°, meaning it can be operated successfully at any latitude and doesn’t suffer from limitations on more traditional gear mounts with counterweight obstruction and zenith out of range.
Supports Multiple Tracking
The Wave 100i supports sidereal, lunar and solar tracking. This means it can be reliably used for night-time astrophotography, moon capture and stunning solar imaging!
