The Star Adventurer Mini, or 'SAM', is a great choice for the astrophotographer on the move due to it's small size and low weight combined with its highly precise tracking capabilities. The SAM can transform almost any tripod into a useful and precise equatorial mount, letting you setup almost anywhere as your needs change and evolve. The SAM can serve as both a splendid tracking platform or a compact travel mount, and excels in both functions. It is compatible with a wide array of accessories, and hosts a V-Style dovetail saddle that can be used to mount a ball-head for easier camera movement and control.
The SAM also features such splendid features as automatic shutter release control for DSLR's that have been plugged into the mount, permitting you to program your shutter exposure settings to the most exacting details and precise level. The payload capacity of this exemplary tracking platform is a total of 6.6lbs, which is sufficient for most cameras on their own. The Star Adventurer Mini can be controlled remotely using the free SAM console app that Skywatcher has produced, allowing you to freely customize your tracking speeds and choose from a wide variety of customizable settings to perfect your astrophotography experience to suit your desires.
