Description

    Now With Wi-Fi

    The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i is a user-friendly and multi-function mount to satisfy all your needs for astronomy, astrophotography, and time-lapse photography. It is a high precision, portable and stable celestial tracking platform for sidereal, solar, and lunar tracking with automatic DSLR shutter release control. Using a Wi-Fi signal to connect to your phone, the Star Adventurer 2i contains preprogrammed long exposures, helping you create mesmerizing time-lapse videos with your DSLR.

    Camera, tripod, and optical tube are not included.

    Award Winning Images

    Sky-Watcher’s extremely popular family of star tracker mounts have helped revolutionize the lightweight astrophotography market making it easier and less expensive to enter into what can be a very challenging hobby. Time and again, Star Adventurer leads the pack of lightweight astroimaging mounts and helps photographers produce award-winning landscape and deep space images and stirring time-lapse videos of the night sky.

    Easy Integration with Any Tripod

    The declination assembly uses a specialized Vixen-style saddle plate for attaching cameras, tripod heads, or optical tubes. Attaching a ball head to this Vixen style plate provides most users with enough flexibility to point their camera around the sky freely while maintaining tracking. The Star Adventurer tracking platform can attach to a tripod using a 3/8-inch thread socket and includes an adapter for ¼-20-inch thread sizes.

    Automatic Shutter Release Control

    No need for an intervalometer timer with the Star Adventurer 2i! With completely programable shutter exposure settings, the 2i can trigger a DSLR using the auxiliary shutter release cable. Once the camera is plugged into the mount and a shot is fired, it will continually shoot for the programed exposures until the cable is removed.

    With a payload capacity of 5kg (11 pounds), the Star Adventurer 2i is exceptional for nightscape, deep space, and time lapse photographers looking to master the entire sky utilizing every lens in their tool kit.

    The Photo Package includes the Star Adventurer 2i mount, and ball head adapter. Optional EQ base is available. 


    Camera and tripod are not included.

    Michael G. ★★★★★

    The preprogrammed tracking speeds made aligning for deep-sky shots quick and accurate. I was impressed by how stable the mount held my camera setup during a breezy night. Definitely a solid upgrade from my old manual tracker.

    Steven L. ★★★★★

    The WiFi setup was surprisingly simple and let me control tracking from my phone without crouching behind the tripod. The multiple preprogrammed speeds make framing deep-sky targets much faster than I expected.

    Steven ★★★★★

    Switching from a manual tracker to this was a revelation—the built-in WiFi makes polar alignment so much faster through the app. I’m finally getting round stars in my 60-second exposures without any drift.
