iOptron Hard Case for CEM70 Mount – #C708 A mount like the iOptron CEM70 deserves protection that’s as robust and thoughtfully designed as the mount itself. Whether you're transporting your gear to a remote site or simply storing it between uses, the iOptron C708 Hard Case provides peace of mind with custom-fit interior foam and a reinforced exterior built to shield your investment. This case is an exact replacement for the original hard case included with most CEM70 packages—ideal if yours has been lost, damaged, or if you’re looking to upgrade from soft-sided storage. Tailored Protection for a Precision Instrument The interior of the case features precision-cut foam padding that securely holds the CEM70 mount head and prevents shifting during transport. The foam contours support the mount body, handles, and attachment points, helping reduce mechanical stress on sensitive gear during bumpy car rides or air travel. With the C708 case, your mount is cradled, cushioned, and ready to go when you arrive at your destination—no need to re-tighten bolts or worry about alignment being thrown off from transport. Built Tough for Travel or Storage The hard-sided outer shell is reinforced at the corners and along the edges to better resist dings and dents. While not watertight, the case is well-suited to handling real-world observing conditions, from dew and dust to road jostles and light impacts. Key features include: Durable reinforced frame and corner protection Dual trigger-release latches for secure closure Molded carry handle for comfortable, balanced lifting Compact footprint for easier packing in vehicles or observatory spaces Compatibility This hard case is designed specifically for the CEM70 mount head. It does not fit the CEM40, GEM45, or other iOptron models. Be sure to verify your mount model before ordering. Observing Tip: If you're regularly traveling with your CEM70—especially to dark-sky sites or star parties—a proper hard case is a must. Not only does it protect your investment, it keeps your setup organized and clean, helping to prevent contamination from dirt or moisture while in storage.
