About this item

MiniTower is the perfect combination of capacity and portability.

25 lbs. of Payload

• Born out of the popular iOptron Cube, MiniTower is the ultimate observing solution for people who are searching for a capable and portable GoTo telescope mount to counter light pollution in their backyards and for travel convenience.

With a standard payload of 25 lbs, a rock solid 1.5 halloy/stainless steel tripod, metal worm and gear and two dovetail adaptors, MiniTowerTM is capable of handling a majority of the OTAs that have ever been made. Its payload can be even further enhanced by more than 50% with heavy duty accessories.

Extremely Portable

• With all the standard components (excluding the tripod) packaged in an alloy metal case, MiniTower can easily be carried around in a car trunk or as an airline luggage. The whole system takes only 10 minutes to assemble. This unlimited portability, combined with the internal GPS, gives amateur astronomers extreme flexibility in selecting an observing location.

Accurate GoTo and Tracking

• Equipped with the most advanced SmartStarR GoTo technology, MiniTower is one of the most powerful and accurate GoTo mounts. The standard 8401 hand controller offers the superb navigation experience with an 8 line LCD backlit display, a 130,000 object database and a USB port for easy connection with ASCOM compliant PC planetarium programs.

With a typical GoTo accuracy of 1 arc minute and the SmartStaR precision auto tracking, MiniTower will consistently bring the celestial object of your choice to the center of the eyepiece and keep tracking for hours.

Additional Unique Features

• Powered with other features such as automatic overcurrent protection, automatic clutch protection for both axes, easy 3 point level adjustment, dual scope setup with two dovetails and much more, MiniTower is one of the most user friendly GoTo mounts available today.
