Questions & Answers

ROBERT H : My iOptron Pro came unassembled. I heard something rattling around inside, tried to discover what it was (possibly a washer, as I have only one washer now). No assembly instructions other than the video. No operating instructions at all. No documentation at all. Is this usual? Is there a place to get at least some rudimentary instructions on how to use the iOptron Pro?ANDREW R : For tech support or troubleshooting I'd recommend contacting the manufacturer.
Eyad K : what comes in this package? Is it all I need to start attaching my camera and shoot wide view long exposure astrophotography images?Sandy D : Everything comes with the ioptron except for a tripod camera ball mount. Also if your mounted equipment is over 3lbs you may need a counter weightANDREW R : PACKAGE CONTENTS SkyTrackerTM Pro camera mount Alt-azi base (installed) AccuAlignTM dark field illuminated polar scope Brass 3/8” and 1/4” threaded ball head mounting post (installed) Padded carry bag Micro USB charging cable One Year Limited Warranty

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.

Star Trail Preventer

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!!

There is some play in the main rotation axis

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.

Works well so far.

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.

It works for both starlit landscapes and the eclipse

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.

Great product and experience with Adorama

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!

Additional features include a quick slew mode with forward and reverse options for rapid framing adjustments, a built-in rechargeable battery with a Micro USB port for convenient power and charging, and up to 24 hours of continuous operation at 20 degrees Celsius.

The mount accepts cameras weighing up to 3 kg (6.6 lbs), making it suitable for a variety of DSLR and mirrorless camera setups. For added convenience, the SkyTracker Pro includes a 1/4" - 3/8" thread converter, a padded carry bag for protection during transport, and the option to expand your setup with separately available accessories such as ball heads, tripods, and counterweight balance kits.
