Leading the camera tracker market for nearly four years, iOptron<\/a>‘s SkyGuider Pro Mount<\/strong>\u00a0pushes closer to perfection.<\/p>\n The redesigned SkyGuider Pro mount\u00a0 is more compact, because it’s small enough to fit on your palm. It has better precision, silent tracking, built-in rechargeable power source, ST-4 guiding port and camera trigger port. The improved precision polar scope maintains a fine engraved reticule. It now features adjustable illumination with different brightness levels. Using with our iOS app, quick and accurate polar alignment is just a joy.<\/p>\n The DEC mounting bracket allows you to balance a heavy camera and\/or lens better, or even mount a light telescope due to its small size. The optional 8408 hand controller allows you to check the Pole Star position for the polar alignment<\/a>, slew the mount, adjust the guiding rate, change the mount settings and control the camera trigger.<\/p>\n The SkyGuider Pro mount features four tracking rates, 1X or sidereal, 1\/2X for sky and landscape combined, solar and lunar. All 4 tracking rates work in both northern and southern hemispheres. We have also added a quick slew mode with both forward and reverse to help quickly reframing your image without disrupting the cameras position.<\/p>\n iOptron have made big improvements on the removable alt-azimuth base. It features a precision bubble level, degree markings for the altitude and a built in post for the azimuth control. You can also mount the SkyGuider Pro head (without the base) directly to any standard photographic tripod<\/a> with 1\/4\u201d or 3\/8\u201d threads. The DEC mounting bracket package makes the SkyGuider Pro mount suitable for a heavier camera\/lens system, The system includes DEC mounting bracket, counterweight shaft, counterweight and Vixen-type dovetail saddle. The SkyGuider Pro is certainly a must have tool for any photographer interested in star scape or wide field astrophotography.<\/p>\n This tracker is perfect for portable use, hikers who also want to do star scape photography or even a holiday travel setup. With clever packing it will all fit into 1 single camera bag. A perfect pairing for this would be the Redcat 51<\/a> Telescope with the Extension bar<\/a> to help balance the scope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The redesigned SkyGuider Pro mount head is more compact, small enough to fit on your palm, better precision, silent tracking, built-in rechargeable power source, ST-4 guiding port and camera trigger port.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_cat":[26],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-225","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-camera-tracking-mounts","7":"desktop-align-center","8":"tablet-align-left","9":"mobile-align-left","10":"ast-product-gallery-layout-horizontal-slider","11":"ast-product-gallery-with-no-image","12":"ast-product-tabs-layout-vertical","13":"ast-qv-on-image","15":"first","16":"outofstock","17":"taxable","18":"shipping-taxable","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomicalsolutions.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/225"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomicalsolutions.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomicalsolutions.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astronomicalsolutions.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astronomicalsolutions.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomicalsolutions.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astronomicalsolutions.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=225"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astronomicalsolutions.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Key Features<\/h3>\n
