Very Happy with the Sky-Watcher Adventurer GTI

This is my first purchase through Adorama and I couldn't be happier with their service and the Sky-Watcher Adventurer GTI tracker. I am new to astrophotography with a lot to learn and it's nice to know with this purchase I am off to a great start. It shipped quickly and arrived in great condition and after a month of use, I have no regrets. Just starting, I could have chosen the base-level Sky-Watcher 2i, but if you're on the fence this is the model you want!

Great little mount!

This is a great little mount. It is light weight, easy to set up and works very well with my imaging set-up. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality grab and go mount for their light weight set-up.

Explore the infinite beauty of the cosmos with the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi Head Kit. This high-quality, durable, and portable telescope mount offers full GoTo capabilities, opening up the entire sky for your exploration. With its user-friendly design, locating and tracking celestial bodies becomes a breeze.

The Star Adventurer GTi is equipped with fully integrated Wi-Fi controls, allowing you to effortlessly command the mount through the SynScan Pro app or directly from your computer via the built-in USB port. This feature enhances your stargazing experience, providing seamless control over your celestial navigation.

The built-in polar scope and illuminator are pre-aligned, simplifying the alignment process and ensuring precision in your observations. The illuminator enhances visibility, making it easier to navigate the night sky.

Weighing just 5.7 pounds and measuring a compact 9 inches in length, the Star Adventurer GTi is the ideal travel companion for the roving astronomer. Its lightweight and compact design do not compromise on its capabilities, with the GTi model offering full GoTo performance in a portable package.

The Star Adventurer GTi also boasts a built-in USB port, autoguider, V-style dovetail, and SNAP shutter control for your DSLR. These features can be programmed via Sky-Watcher's free SynScan Pro app for iOS and Android, offering you complete control over your astroimaging.

The dual-position counterweight is designed for use at low latitudes, and the full smartphone control via Wi-Fi enhances the user experience, making it easier than ever to capture and explore the heavens. With multiple tracking rates including lunar, solar, and sidereal, the Star Adventurer GTi allows for a variety of imaging techniques, from traditional deep space and widefield DSLR photography to capturing stunning Milky Way nightscapes.

With an impressive 11-pound payload capacity, the Star Adventurer GTi can handle your DSLR camera with a wide-angle or telephoto lens, a small aperture astrograph with a dedicated astro camera, or even small OTAs such as the Skymax series of Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes. This makes it perfect for capturing deep space objects, the Moon, and planets.

In summary, the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi Head Kit is the ultimate choice for the astrophotographer seeking superior performance and portability. Explore the night sky like never before with this sturdy, high-quality telescope mount.
