Solid build and at first trial looks like it is going to be great on my first dark sky outing.

Quality product at an excellent price. There is a learning curve and I am just getting on it. Looking forward to my first dark sky outing. Manual is not as detailed as I would like but there is plenty of online guidance.

A must have it you are shooting astrophotography. I had a chance to use it on a recent trip to the mountains and dark skies. Once set up it worked perfectly shooting night skies; no star trails! It allows long exposures without star trails. Luv it!!

Excellent package, perfect for astrophotography with a camera. Star tracking capability allows for longer exposure times for deep space object photography. Fully satisfied.

Great package! Sturdy easy to use product. Watch on line videos to really get the gist of how to use it. Make sure you are fully charged for use on cold nights. Highly recommended for first time astrophotographers. Adorama service was great. Packages arrived well padded and very timely.

Great and light weight for travel and tracking spot on when set up correctly aligned with Polaris and level. No star trails with log exposures and telephoto lens.

I consider this a very nice addition to my equipment. I used it a couple of times and there is a small learning curve. I like it

I was surprised how quick delivery was. Looks like a great product. Can't wait for the weather to cooperate so I can use it for some astrophotography.

After a few trials I have come to realized that there is some play in the main axis. This has mainly two implications. First, it is hard to align the camera perfectly. Secondly and more importantly, the camera moves by a few degrees at some point during the session. As a result all the photos taken after have to be thrown away.

Really nice device, esp. for the price. Not the easiest to set up, I wish they had better documentation, but overall, for the price, I think this is the best tracker on the market.

As always, quick delivery on the exact item I purchased. Very pleased with the item and it is exactly as advertised.

I used the tracker for the eclipse and it worked great. I am planning to do stars on my Montana trip next month.

I got this for the eclipse and having it and an intervalometer meant that I could watch the eclipse and get my photos with minimal interaction with the camera. Also, I did some nice astrophotography with an ultra wide, showing the stars reflected in a lake with a mountain in the background (a little Photoshop was needed to make the landscape part as crisp as the sky). The 1/2 star setting is worthless. Just use the star setting, take lots of photos for exposure stacking, then shoot the same number of photos of the landscape with the SkyTracker motor off, and combine the two. Super easy and super beautiful. You MUST use the corresponding app in order to get it aligned if Polaris isn't visible.

Not many had this in stock since it was newly released but Adorama did with free express shipping. Unit arrived missing a bolt and Adorama took care of me. Had my new unit by the weekend so I could go do an imaging session. Smaller and quieter than the original Sky tracker .... over all very nice and highly recommended!
