Omegon MiniTrack LX3 Astrotracker Set with Ball Head

Omegon MiniTrack LX3 Astrotracker Set with Ball Head: complete on one tripod

This set combines the MiniTrack LX3 with an optical polar finder and a ball head. This gives you everything that belongs between your tripod and your camera in a single purchase.

The MiniTrack works entirely mechanically: you wind it up like a kitchen timer, and it tracks the stars for up to an hour. No batteries, no cables, no firmware. On a cold night far from home, that's just one less thing that can break.

Why add a ball head

The tracker follows the stars, but does not point the camera. The ball head does that: with it, you point the camera at the part of the sky you want to photograph, without disturbing the alignment of the tracker. Without a ball head, you cannot use the tracker in a meaningful way.

Up to 3 kg

The CNC-machined housing supports cameras weighing up to 3 kg, even with a lightweight telephoto lens. The spring system replaces a counterweight, keeping the setup compact.

Sixty minutes per arousal

The Teflon sliding bearing keeps the movement smooth throughout the entire winding. For a series of exposures of a few minutes each, an hour is more than enough; after that, you wind again.

Included
