Product description

iOptron SkyTracker - compact equatorial travel mount

This compact travel mount with built-in tracking is suitable for mobile astrophotography and fits onto any standard tripod. The Skytracker from iOptron allows very precise polar alignment using the built-in polar elevation fine adjustment and the corresponding polar finder. These important features come already included, in contrast to other comparable travel mounts, so saving you a lot of money.

The advantages in a nutshell:

  • polar finder and polar elevation fine adjustment included delivery
  • compatible with any camera tripod
  • 3kg load capacity, according to manufacturer's specifications
  • high automatic tracking accuracy
  • optional half-speed tracking allows panning during exposure (time lapse)
  • can be swapped over from North to South
  • rugged aluminum housing
  • built-in compass
  • 4 internal AA batteries (giving 24 hours operation)
  • external power supply (12V DC)
  • transport case (padded) included
  • can be used on virtually any ball head
  • an app for Apple devices is optionally available in the Apple Store. It displkays the reticle of the polar finder with the current position of Polaris,
  • easy to use

The ideal travel accessory for astrophotographers.

Our expert comment:

A small ball head is a useful accessory for use with the SkyTracker. If you do not have one, then have a browse among our ball heads under Tripods_Tripods and Mounts_Tripod Accessories.
