iOptron has refined its earlier "cube" mount design into the SkyHunter series, setting a new standard for portable camera mounts. These mounts are lightweight, compact, easy to use, and packed with advanced technology.

The SkyHunter mounts are available in three versions and can be fully controlled via a smartphone or tablet running iOS or Android. They also support ASCOM and INDI protocols. The built-in WiFi adapter allows control using ASCOM, iOptron Commander, or Sky Safari software. Additionally, the 3/8-inch connection makes it possible to attach the mount 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.
