Compact astro tracker for wide-field photography

The iOptron SkyTracker Pro is a palm-sized camera mount built for astroscape and wide-field astrophotography. It attaches to a standard camera tripod using 3/8" or 1/4" threads and accepts cameras weighing up to 6.6 lbs. The all-metal structure with ABS covers provides a portable platform for long-exposure night-sky imaging.

Silent tracking with 24-hour internal power

A built-in rechargeable power source delivers up to 24 hours of continuous operation without external cables. Silent tracking ensures smooth camera motion during long exposures, avoiding vibration that can blur star detail. Four selectable rates — sidereal, half-speed, solar and lunar — function in both northern and southern hemispheres.

Precision polar scope and detachable base

An improved polar scope features a finely engraved reticule with adjustable illumination across eight brightness levels. The iOptron smartphone app assists quick and accurate polar alignment in the field. A detachable alt-azi base with fine latitude and azimuth adjusters simplifies setup on a tripod, while the 3 kg capacity limits use to lighter camera and lens combinations.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the SkyTracker Pro to my camera tripod and what thread size mistake should I avoid?

The mount attaches to any camera tripod using either the 3/8" or 1/4" thread on its base. Ensure you select the correct thread matching your tripod head before tightening.

What maintenance does the built-in rechargeable power source require after repeated use?

The internal battery provides up to 24 hours of continuous tracking per charge. Recharge it via the USB port when depleted; no user-serviceable parts are inside.

What is the maximum camera weight the SkyTracker Pro can track before performance degrades?

The mount accepts cameras weighing up to 6.6 lbs (3 kg). Exceeding this limit will strain the motor and reduce tracking accuracy during long exposures.
