From the CN thread, attributed as coming from iOptron:
"Currently we don't have a support for the CEM120. The Mount with 2 counterweights weighs aprox 122lbs. Add the weight of the instrument and I would say a pier that can support 250-300lbs would be optimal. Our current Tri-Pier can carry up to 220lbs so technically it can be used with thCEM120 and instrument that stay under that weight. It’s likely we will make a Tri-pier adapter plate soon. Thie image has the hole spacing for the mount base."
So if true, iOptron is selling a mount head without any offered support structure.
Obviously this is not seen as a portable or field mount. At least the EQ8 can be used in the field by a fit individual with the room to transport it.
