iOptron SkyTracker Pro Camera Mount with Polar Scope

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!!

Great product for beginner astrophotographers!

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.

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.

The ioptron work great

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

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!

Sky Tracker Pro

By CHRISTOPHER J.

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.

With the SkyTracker Pro Camera Mount by iOptron, you can elevate your astrophotography to new heights. This next-generation camera tracking device, an upgrade from the original SkyTracker, boasts a compact design that fits comfortably in your palm. Its precision is unmatched, offering silent tracking and a built-in rechargeable power source that provides up to 24 hours of continuous operation.

The SkyTracker Pro features an improved precision polar scope with a finely engraved reticule. It now comes with adjustable illumination, offering eight brightness levels for optimal visibility. When used in conjunction with the iOptron smartphone app, achieving quick and accurate polar alignment becomes a breeze.

This camera mount offers four tracking rates: 1X or sidereal, 1/2X for sky and landscape, solar, and lunar. These tracking rates are functional in both the northern and southern hemispheres. The all-metal structure, complemented by ABS covers, ensures durability and longevity.

The SkyTracker Pro can be attached to a camera tripod with 3/8" or 1/4" threads and can support cameras weighing up to 3 kg (6.6 lbs). It offers silent tracking for smooth camera motion, making it perfect for long-term exposures. The mount includes a detachable alt-azi base with fine latitude and azimuth adjusters for easy polar alignment.

The SkyTracker Pro also includes a reversible mounting post for both 3/8" and 1/4" threaded ball head mounting, an iOptron AccuAlign dark-field illuminated polar scope, and a padded carry bag for safe transportation. The built-in rechargeable battery comes with a Micro USB port for power and charging.

Additional features include a quick slew mode for rapid camera framing adjustment and operation in both northern and southern hemispheres. The removable alt-azimuth base has been significantly improved, featuring a precision bubble level, degree markings for the altitude, and a built-in post for azimuth control.

The SkyTracker Pro Camera Mount can also be mounted directly to any standard photographic tripod with 1/4" or 3/8" threads. This device is an essential tool for photographers interested in astroscape or wide-field astrophotography. Optional accessories such as ball heads, tripods, and counterweight balance kits are available separately.
