iOptron SkyGuider Pro Camera Mount with iZonix Carrying Bag

Description: From the iOptron website: “Having difficulty to polar align, especially in Southern Hemisphere? We have a solution: SkyGuider Pro with built-in iPolar! The SkyGuiderTM Pro -- iOptron’s next generation camera tracking device! Leading the camera tracker market for nearly four years, iOptron's SkyGuider Pro pushes closer to perfection. The redesigned SkyGuiderrTM Pro mount head is more compact, small enough to fit on your palm, better precision, silent tracking, built-in rechargeable power source, ST-4 guiding port and camera trigger port. The DEC mounting bracket allows you to balance a heavy camera and/or lens better, or even mount a light telescope. The optional 8408 hand controller allows you to check the Pole Star position for the polar alignment, slew the mount, adjust the guiding rate, change the mount settings and control the camera trigger. This mount has an integrated electronic polar finder scope known as the iPolar. This tool ensures the accurate alignment of a telescope, even when the pole star is obscured. There are large levers on the quick-lock drive engagement system; these large levers make it easy to snap the gears into place. The SkyGuiderTM Pro features four tracking rates, 1X or sidereal, 1/2X for sky and landscape combined, solar and lunar. All 4 tracking rates work in both northern and southern hemispheres. We have also added a quick slew mode with both forward and reverse to help quickly reframing your image without disrupting the cameras position. We have made big improvements on the SkyGuiderTM Pro’s removable alt-azimuth base, which features a precision bubble level, degree markings for the altitude and a built in post for the azimuth control. You can also mount the SkyGuiderTM Pro head (without the base) directly to any standard photographic tripod with 1/4” or 3/8” threads. The DEC mounting bracket package, which includes DEC mounting bracket, counterweight shaft, counterweight and Vixen-type dovetail saddle, makes the SkyGuideTM Pro mount suitable for a heavier camera/lens system, even a lightweight telescope. The SkyGuiderTM Pro is certainly a must have tool for any photographer interested in astroscape or wide field astrophotography.” Personal Notes: The following items are included in this specific kit:SkyGuider Pro camera mount Alt-azi base (installed) iPolar electronic polar scope (installed) USB charging cable DEC mounting bracket w/ camera mounting disk 1.35kg counterweight Counterweight ShaftAlso included is an iZonix camera carrying bag, which is larger than the bag that usually comes with these kits, and can fit all the pieces rather than just the camera mount. I have not used this item in a while, so I cannot speak to exactly how pristine its condition is. However, there are no obvious signs of wear or damage, and it worked well when I bought it. Bidding starts at $320.
