The SkyWatcher Star Adventurer is an excellent touring mechanism designed specifically for telephoto photography, but it does much more than that!
The user-friendly, easy-to-use mechanic is specifically recommended for astronomical photography and time-lapse videos. Compact and easy to carry, it still allows surprisingly precise and accurate tracking at three different speeds. It also has an automatic exposure start function for DSLRs. Star Adventurer helps you shoot time-lapse video with pre-programmed settings.
