Description

Whether you’re looking for a tracking platform to capture wide-field images of the Milky Way, or seeking a compact travel mount, SAM is a necessity for astrophotography's of every skill level. This high precision, portable celestial tracking platform can transform almost any tripod into an equatorial mount, assisting photographers with long exposures of the night sky. SAM breaks from the mold of traditional equatorial mounts with an abundance of add-on accessories to complement wide-field astrophotography, nightscape images, eclipses, panoramas or time-lapse photography. With the free SAM console app (for iOS android) you can customize your tracking speeds, photographers can choose between sidereal, solar and lunar, or other custom presets, useful for time-lapse videos. Even for users with no polar alignment experience, the Star Adventurer Mini is easy to setup using the included illuminated polar finder scope. Once aligned, users can attach their camera and activate sidereal tracking to start photographing the Milky way. In addition to the Star Adventurer Mini mount, several add-on accessories are included. The Equatorial base allows this platform to polar align and track in the RA axis, turning a conventional photo tripod into an important astrophotography tool. Both axis also feature clutches, allowing users to aim the Star Adventurer Mini without losing polar alignment. For users photographing nightscapes, the ball-head adapter provides more freedom to frame the image, while delivering consistent tracking.

    • Great Tracker but not so much!
Style: Star Adventurer Mini Pro Pack
The app works totally fine. I use iPhone . I had no issue for connecting and running the tracker. It was my first time using a tracker and it was kinda hard to do polar alignment so I did roughly. Because it was dark and cold in IL and didn't want to waste more time. I was able get 8 mins with 14 mm, 2 mins with 85mm lens. I think that's very good for my first try with really bad polar alignment. I studied a bit and I hope it'll be easy to find the Polaris next time lol However, I got this tracker for light weight compared to the bigger model. When you pack everything like eq base , Declination bracket, polar scope will be really heavy. It'll be just 600gr less than the bigger model in the field. My thought is either go with the star adventurer pro model or just sam mini and use with ball head for light weight. But this is a great gadget I really enjoyed it and not that difficult to use this thing. Have fun and Clear Sky! ... show more

At first, when I attempted to use this Tracker I was disappointed because I kept having issues with connecting via WIFI or the app being unresponsive. The app via the Google play store did not work & I had to download an app from their website. This all was frustrating. After some reading online, I found that the manufacturer offers a firmware upgrade on their website. After performing the update the Tracker performs much better. Once aligned, with a proper tripod, star trails disappear. I believe after the firmware upgrade this Tracker is well worth the money. Make sure you have a sturdy Tripod. The first picture is an f/2 10-minute exposure from my house in the city. The second picture is 10 stacked f/2 1.5min exposures in a dark location. ... show more

    • Doesn't work!
Style: Star Adventurer Mini Pro Pack
Unfortunately for me this product is past it's return period. I purchased it in Aug for a trip I was supposed to take. The trip got canceled so it stayed untouched in the box until this week. When I was able to make up for the trip. I took it out, got it all hooked up, aligned, fresh high quality batteries. my lens / telescope mounted (made sure it was under the weight limit) ... and ... nothing. I finally got the power to come on, but it would not connect to my phone or iPad and if it doesn't connect, it's useless. The light would randomly go on or off. I tried an android device. At least it would connect to the WiFi but the app didn't work. I tried literally everything I could think of to get this to work, and the app was just garbage as well. So I was left just screwing around in the dark, with nothing to show for it. No way to get support now that I'm back and can't get a refund for an unused faulty product. ... show more

So getting a pic of the Milky Way has been one of my photography goals for awhile now. I had a trip to Sedona planned and ordered this tracker since I'd be in an area with much less light pollution than where I live. After unpacking it all, I was hesitant to even try to use it as the instructions are very spotty and just figuring out how to put it all together correctly was a bit of a challenge (turns out the size adapter was pre-inserted to the EQ base and I couldn't get it all together until realizing I had to unscrew that part - none of that info is in the instruction manual) - ballpark polar alignment was good enough to get up to 5 minute exposures. Attached is one of my first attempts with no stacking and some lightroom adjustments. I'm very satisifed and can't wait to figure out exact polar alignment for my next trip to a dark area! Highly recommended for astrophotgraphy. ... show more

The review i didn't want to make. I really wanted to like this product, it is a great little mount with just enough features to make it a fun mount to use with decent results with a small astrophotography setup. Downside is that this mount stopped working after just 3 uses, i really do not like writing negative reviews as i always try to look at the positives. I am giving this mount 3 stars as it was very functional when it did work, but now i am going to be without a mount for some time. ... show more

This was my first star tracker and it has been great to use. Definitely one of the most affordable options on the market, but that hasn't come with any compromises for my use case. Alignment is tricky, as always, but having the center mounted scope helps a ton. It's easy to throw into my camera bag and assemble on scene. Have not had any problems after a couple dozen hours of use. I attached the very first image that I created with it, and I have only gotten better since then. ... show more

Very portable, very precise. Even with calibrating north blindly, 1-minute exposures look great. Easy to setup, easy to use. Glad I selected this type of tracker.

I was looking for an astrotracker which I can have mounted on the tripod ready to use when there is good wheather at night. This one fullfills the function. If you are familiar with the basis of orienting an ecuatorial mount you will have no problems. I had no problems connecting with the app, althogh I use a custom rom and not origial google android. The system is lightweight enough, however you will need a solid stable tripod otherwise, you will have problems. The pictures I took using my phone. The ecuatorial plate does it function, but feels cheap when adjusting the altitude, when aligning with the scope. The polar shifts to side when adjusting the altitude which should not happen. Another critic point is th DSLR cameras compatible with the automated shooting are somewhat old models. Otherwise I am satisfied with the product ... show more
