Discover SAM - the Star Adventurer Mini from Sky-Watcher: an ultra-light, intelligent and powerful equatorial mount designed for enthusiasts of night landscapes, wide-field astrophotography and time-lapse. Thanks to a featherweight of just 680 g and a Wi-Fi control via the dedicated application, SAM is the ideal mobile solution for photographers and videographers on the move.
The Star Adventurer Mini offers precise sidereal, lunar or solar tracking for long exposures without star trails. The free application Star Adventurer Console (iOS & Android) lets you fully customize tracking speeds, time-lapse sequences, and automatically trigger your device via the built-in SNAP port. No external remote control required!
Thanks to its illuminated polar viewfinder, the SAM is easy to align on the polar axis, even for beginners. Once aligned, you can photograph the Milky Way, nebulae or create immersive time-lapse videos with your SLR or hybrid.
The SNAP cable is available separately, depending on your camera model.
