About this product

The Sky-Watcher HEQ5-R PRO brings advanced precision and design improvements to one of the world’s most popular equatorial mounts. Built for serious observers and astrophotographers, the HEQ5-R PRO combines superior mechanics, smart connectivity, and smooth, quiet tracking to deliver an exceptional observing and imaging experience.

A new belt-driven system ensures ultra-smooth slewing and significantly reduced backlash, improving guiding accuracy for long-exposure astrophotography. The upgraded worm wheels—with 160 teeth on the RA axis and 144 on DEC—enhance tracking precision and allow for a higher payload.

The mount also introduces a built-in USB hub and external power ports, simplifying cable management and providing direct connections for cameras, guide scopes, and accessories. The refined exterior design, robust construction, and stainless-steel tripod deliver stability and performance that astrophotographers can rely on.

  • Precision Belt Drive System – Reduced backlash and smoother motion for more accurate guiding.

  • Upgraded Worm Gear Assembly – Increased tooth count for enhanced tracking performance.

  • Integrated USB Hub and Power Ports – Streamlined connectivity for imaging accessories.

  • High Payload Capacity – Supports up to 15 kg, ideal for medium to large optical setups.

  • Quiet, Smooth Slewing – Hybrid stepper motors with micro-step drive control.
