This version of the Sky-Watcher GTi Star Adventurer mount comes with a Star Adventurer tripod and pier extension as well as the EQ head, counterweight bar, 5 lb. of counterweight, a built-in illuminated polar scope, a Vixen style saddle and a PC link cable.  If you'd prefer to use your own tripod, check out the Star Adventurer GTi Head Kit, which does NOT include the pier extension or tripod.

Sky-Watcher's latest GTi mount is super portable and has a weight capacity of 11 pounds.  It features full GoTo performance and has multiple features that make viewing and astrophotography a pleasure.  For instance, the GTi features a built-in illuminated polar scope for precision alignment in EQ mode, multiple tracking rates, including sidereal, lunar & solar, ports for USB as well as an auto-guider, a V-style dovetail, and SNAP shutter control for your DSLR (programmable via Sky-Watcher’s free SynScan Pro app for iOS and Android). The Star Adventurer GTi also includes a dual-position counterweight for use at low latitudes as well as full smartphone control via Wi-Fi.  If you'd prefer to use a hand controller, the Syncan is available optionally.  As mentioned earlier, this GTi version also comes with the Star Adventurer GTi steel tripod and Pier Extension.

With its 11-pound payload capacity, Star Adventurer is well-equipped to handle your lighter weight equipment, from a DLSR or mirrorless camera with wide-angle or telephoto lens plus accessories, a small aperture astrograph with a dedicated astro camera, or even small OTA’s such as our Skymax series of Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes. 

The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi is the perfect mount for any astrophotographer who values both performance and portability.
