Warp Astron WarpDrive WD-20P (Mount Head Only)

• Next-gen Servo Direct Drive mount head with a redesigned internal architecture that feeds power + data through the saddle for a clean, cable-free rig

• Up to 150 W USB-PD power delivery at the saddle (dual ports) to run high-performance mini PCs, cameras, and accessories without extra power bricks

• Multi-layer safety: encoder-based limit protection, automatic emergency braking, and a gyroscopic sensor that intervenes even if coordinates fail—your gear stays safe

• Switchable equatorial or alt-az operation with smooth, high-torque BLDC servo direct-drive and strain-wave reducers for tight tracking and fast slews

• Travel-light, lift-heavy: only 5.7 kg (12.5 lb) mount head with payloads up to 22 kg (44 lb) without counterweights or 30 kg (66 lb) with counterweights

• Field-ready details: Vixen & Losmandy dual saddle, built-in GPS, two-axis home sensors, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and open ASCOM/INDI/LX200/INDIGO control
