Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i Pro Pack
If you are looking for a compact yet powerful mount that won't let you down at a dark-sky site far from home, the second-generation Star Adventurer 2i is exactly what you need. This travel astrophotography mount combines ease of use with a technical feature set that will satisfy even experienced astrophotographers. The Pro Pack version offers everything you need in a single package - no guessing what accessories to add.
What's in the Pro Pack
The Pro Pack includes the mount head with a built-in illuminated polar finder scope, a polar wedge for precise polar alignment, a dovetail bar, and a declination axis clamp plate. It is a complete foundation for astrophotography - simply add a tripod and your favourite telescope or camera. The payload capacity reaches approximately 5 kg, which covers most travel setups from compact refractors to standard DSLRs with a longer lens.
Connectivity and power
The mount features built-in WiFi and can be conveniently controlled via a mobile app - no need to touch the device in the dark and risk losing your night vision. Power is supplied by four standard AA batteries, or you can use an external power source via the mini USB port, which is especially useful during longer observing sessions. The mount attaches to a tripod via a 3/8″ or 1/4″ thread, making it compatible with the vast majority of photographic and astronomical tripods.
Tracking and guiding
From an astronomical perspective, the mount provides the standard tracking rates - sidereal, solar, and lunar - covering typical astrophotography needs. For more advanced use, an AutoGuider port allows connection of a guide camera for significantly improved tracking accuracy during long exposures. A DSLR interface with shutter control is also included, a feature that is not always found in comparable competing products.
Timelapse and creative photography
The Star Adventurer 2i for timelapse photography offers pre-programmed motion speeds that enable smooth capture of time-lapse sequences - whether star trails, cloud movement, or sunsets. These features make it a versatile tool not only for astronomers but also for landscape and nature photographers who want to enrich their content with dynamic shots of the night sky. A low-voltage warning ensures the mount notifies you in time before an unexpected interruption of your shoot.
