Camera needs gps and magnetic sensors. It's not perfect, but will follow the sun for quite some time, I make periodic fixes by changing speed or using the manual position control. The longer the focal length of the lens used, the bigger the solar image and the more adjustments are needed. Setting up the night before is great if you have the chance, not true for any group I have ever been with. **Q: Should i get this or the ioptron sky tracker?** A: I'm THRILLED with the Sky-Watcher. Offers better payload capacity and it's a solid design for its size. I use it with the counter weights and have put a Canon 7DmkII with battery grip and a 400mm lens---have great results with long-exposure tracking shots. I also own the iOptron, but I couldn't get a proper alignment with it my first try and wasn't really impressed with its design by comparison. It's collecting dust, but I don't have the desire to use it, as I enjoy the Sky-Watcher so much. If you're not looking for heavy camera loads on a tracker, check out Polarie star tracker. That is hands-down the greatest tracker for ease of use and portability. Clear skies! **Q: What the difference between the astro and the photo package?** A: the astro package has the declination bracket where you can attach a small telescope. The photo package comes with an generic ball head adapter to attach a camera. **Q: What items are included in this package?** A: The main unit, a detachable lighted Polaris alignment finder and telescope mount. Still needed to function as a astrophoto unit is the equatorial base, counterweight and ball head mount. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sky watcher Star adventurer. *by A***R on 10 April 2025* Excelente producto, y fácil de usar, quedé encantado con el resultado. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review based on years of Experience *by D***K on 3 February 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came amazing *by P***R on 4 February 2023* ## Frequently Bought Together - Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i Pro Pack – Motorized DSLR Night Sky Tracker Equatorial Mount for Portable Nightscapes, Time-Lapse and Panoramas – Wi-Fi App Camera Control – Long Exposure (S20512) - JJC Intervalometer Timer Remote Control Shutter Release for Canon EOS Rebel T6 T7 2000D 90D 80D 70D 77D T8i T7i T6i T6s SL3 SL2 T5i T4i EOS R R50V R6 Mark II R6 R7 R8 R10 RP R100 M6 Mark II M5 & More - USB Lens Warmer, Lens Dew Heater Strip with Temperature Regulator, Condensation Prevention for Telescopes Camera DSLR Lens Telescope Eyepieces Less Than 3.15 inch (80mm) in Diameter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/440145979-sky-watcher-star-adventurer-2i-pro-pack-motorized-dslr-night](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/440145979-sky-watcher-star-adventurer-2i-pro-pack-motorized-dslr-night) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
