iOptron has refined and perfected its former "cube" mount design in the SkyHunter series, introducing a new trend in portable camera mounts. These mounts are lightweight, compact, easy to use, and packed with advanced technology.

The SkyHunter mounts come in three versions and can be fully controlled using a smartphone or tablet running iOS or Android. They also support ASCOM and INDI protocols. The built-in WiFi adapter allows control via ASCOM, iOptron Commander, or Sky Safari software. Additionally, the 3/8-inch connection enables the mount to be attached to any standard camera tripod if desired.

Built-in optical encoders and four tracking modes ensure precise tracking for use in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
