iOptron Mount SkyTracker Pro

iOptron revolutionized the market with the groundbreaking SkyTracker, the first fully developed camera mount tailored for astrophotography. This compact accessory effortlessly fits into your photo bag or travel luggage, seamlessly integrating between your tripod and camera. With the SkyTracker, your camera can elegantly track the celestial movements, enabling captivating shots of the night sky using any system camera or DSLR.

Building upon this success, iOptron introduces the SkyTracker Pro, retaining its compact size and user-friendly operation while introducing several enhancements:

• An adjustable polar-finder with eight-step adjustable lighting is now included, facilitating precise alignment.
• The SkyTracker Pro is equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery, providing 24-hour operation and chargeable via a mini-USB cable.
• Four tracking speeds (1X, 0.5X, Solar, and Lunar) cater to various photographic needs, including capturing both celestial bodies and terrestrial landscapes.
• The removable base, adjustable in azimuth and elevation, simplifies setup. It features connections for standard 1/4" and 3/8" camera tripod threads.
• A built-in spirit level, grippy azimuth adjustment screw, and large lever for elevation adjustment ensure accurate alignment, even without a clear view of the Pole Star. Rotation reversal facilitates southern hemisphere use.

The SkyTracker Pro reflects iOptron's expertise in large astronomical mounts, evident in its exceptional mechanical quality despite its portability.
