Durable Exterior, Custom Interior

• Dual locking latches for secure closure

• Carry handle with molded grip

Designed Specifically for the GEM28

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all case. It’s purpose-built for the iOptron GEM28 and ensures a tight, no-shift fit that minimizes vibration and prevents the mount from shifting during movement.

There’s room for:

• GEM28 mount head

• Go2Nova 8409 hand controller

• Counterweight shaft

• Mount cables

• Small accessories or tools

Everything has its place—so you can unpack, set up, and get observing faster.

Ideal for Travel and Storage

Whether you're transporting the GEM28 to a dark sky site or keeping it safe in your home observatory during the off-season, this case provides the protection you need with the portability you want.

Fits easily into most car trunks, telescope wagons, or gear bins.

Observing Tip:
Keep a desiccant pack or two inside your hard case if storing your mount in humid conditions. It'll help protect your electronics and reduce the risk of corrosion during long-term storage.
