Sky-Watcher Wave 150i Pro Mount System

The Sky-Watcher Wave 150i Pro is a GoTo strainwave mount head paired with a carbon fibre tripod and extension tube. It supports up to 55 lbs payload with a counterweight for precise astronomical observations. The lightweight design suits imagers who need a portable yet stable platform for travel and field use.

Verify Power and Payload Requirements

The mount operates on 12V 2A power which is not included, so confirm you have a suitable supply before ordering. Ensure your optical tube and accessories stay within the 55 lb limit when the counterweight kit is fitted. Check that your tripod height range of 19.7 to 29 inches plus the 7 inch extension tube matches your observing posture.

Carbon Fibre Construction and Through-Mount Cabling

The 2-section carbon fibre tripod weighs 5.3 lbs and the mount head weighs 12.8 lbs, combining rigidity with easy transport. Through-mount cabling and a powered hub built into the saddle keep wires tidy during long imaging sessions. EQ and AZ tracking modes with RA power-off braking add operational flexibility day to day.
