Very happy with purchase.
Package arrived in 2 days and was neatly packaged. Device was in excellent condition and is stable. Will test the electronics when the rain clears tomorrow.
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!

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.
