The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Mini Wi-Fi (SAM) is a
compact high-precision camera tracking platform that is ideal for long
exposure astro-photography as
well as time-lapse photography in daytime and night time settings. SAM
easily fits in your backpack or camera bag, making it a convenient travel
companion
that can venture with you into remote locations.
SAM comes with built-in WiFi and the free Star
Adventurer Mini Console App for Android and iOS platforms allowing it to be
remotely controlled with your smartphone. SAM is easy to set up and to
operate in all of its modes.
Although capable of supporting larger camera lenses, SAM is
ideal and very simple to use for Wide field Astro-photography with a standard
camera lens of 55mm or shorter focal length, as only a rough polar alignment is
necessary, making it ideal for all kinds of amateur photographers unfamiliar
with astronomy.
Star Adventurer Mini Wi-Fi (SAM PRO PACK): includes the Star
Adventurer Mini Wi-Fi (SAM) mount, ball head adaptor, polarscope, polarscope illuminator,
equatorial wedge and dovetail L-bracket. Sky-Watcher shutter release cables can
be purchased separately for most popular camera models/brands.
The Star Adventurer Mini Wi-Fi can attach to any standard
tripod via its ¼” or 3/8” adaptors. The latitude can be set by either adjusting
the tilt of your tripod head to match your latitude or more accurately by using
the supplied Equatorial Wedge. To fit a camera to the Star Adventurer, either a
tripod Ball Head is required (not supplied) or the supplied Dovetail L-Bracket.
