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.

Over the years, the Star Adventurer GTi Mount Kit with Tripod from the esteemed brand, Sky-Watcher, has been a game-changer in the realm of lightweight, portable astroimaging. This high-quality, durable product is designed for the passionate astronomer seeking the perfect blend of performance and portability.

The Star Adventurer GTi offers full GoTo capabilities, opening up the entire sky for exploration. Its advanced technology makes locating and tracking celestial objects a breeze, enhancing your stargazing experience. The mount kit is equipped with fully integrated Wi-Fi controls and a USB connection, allowing you to effortlessly control the mount through the SynScan Pro app or your computer.

This versatile mount kit features a pre-aligned, built-in illuminated polar scope, ensuring easy and precise alignment. It also boasts a USB port, autoguider, V-style dovetail, and SNAP shutter control for your DSLR, all programmable via Sky-Watcher's free SynScan Pro app for iOS and Android.

Weighing just 5.7 pounds and measuring a compact 9 inches long, the Star Adventurer GTi is the ideal travel companion for the on-the-go astronomer.

This multifaceted tracking functionality allows imagers to incorporate other techniques into their repertoire, including Milky Way nightscapes alongside traditional deep space and widefield DSLR photography. With its 11-pound payload capacity, the Star Adventurer GTi is well-equipped to handle your DSLR camera sporting a wide-angle or telephoto lens plus accessories, a small aperture astrograph with a dedicated astro camera, or even small OTAs such as our Skymax series of Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes.
