Portable astrophotography mount kit

The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi Mount Kit is a portable equatorial tracking platform designed for astrophotographers who need GoTo performance in a travel-friendly package. It supports telescopes and camera gear weighing up to 11 lbs (4.98 kg) while the mount head itself weighs only 5.7 lbs (2.58 kg). Integrated Wi-Fi and USB connections allow control via the SynScan Pro app or a computer. The kit includes a robust tripod and pier extension for added stability.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your optical tube assembly and accessories stay within the 11 lb payload limit to ensure reliable tracking. Confirm your observing latitude falls within the 0 to 70 degree adjustment range of the mount. Ensure you have a compatible power source for the mount electronics and the necessary cables for DSLR shutter control or autoguider connections. Check that your device can run the SynScan Pro app for wireless operation.

Integration into an imaging setup

The V-style dovetail saddle accepts a wide range of telescope tubes and camera lenses directly. Built-in SNAP shutter control and an autoguider port let you automate imaging sequences without extra controllers. The illuminated polar scope simplifies accurate polar alignment in the field. Wi-Fi connectivity frees you from a tethered hand controller, while the compact 9-inch mount head and lightweight tripod keep the overall kit easy to transport to dark-sky sites.

Questions about this item

What comes in the Star Adventurer GTi Mount Kit and what must I purchase separately?

The kit includes the mount head, a robust tripod and a pier extension. Telescopes, cameras, autoguider hardware and a power source are not included and must be bought separately.

Which capacity version should I choose for my telescope and camera setup?

The mount supports up to 11 lbs (4.98 kg). Choose this kit if your combined optical tube, camera and accessories weigh 11 lbs or less; heavier rigs require a higher-capacity mount.

What does the 5.7 lb mount-head weight mean when I carry it to a dark-sky site?

The head alone weighs 5.7 lbs (2.58 kg). Together with the compact tripod the system stays light enough for one person to transport, yet the 11 lb capacity keeps it stable for long exposures.
