LACERTA Photorobot Travel Mount - GOLD EDITION

LACERTA Photorobot Travel Mount - GOLD EDITION

This lightweight (1 kg) mount is suitable for astrophotography with short focal lengths up to 100 mm, time-lapse photography with panning and TWAN (The World At Night).

The Lacerta Photo Robot is a motorized panorama head. It weighs only 900 grams and is amazingly resilient. The Photo Robot can be attached to photo tripods and also to a small polar wedge. Getting started in astrophotography with beautiful mood photos has never been so easy.

Kit with complete electronics

You will receive a complete set with tracking unit, motor, hand controller and battery holder, which can be combined with any commercially available tripod and ball head (in plain language: probably with your existing equipment).

The electrical connection between handbox and motor is compatible with the stepper motor of the Sky-Watcher EQ1, you can therefore upgrade a mount of this type equipped with the stepper motor set with the functions of the GOLD hand controller.
