The best selling camera tracking mount
The Star Adventurer Pro Pack 2 is by far the best selling camera tracking mount we sell, a superb innovation by SkyWatcher that makes astrophotography simple and affordable

The Star Adventurer imaging mount can attach to any standard tripod via its ¼" or 3/8" adaptors, we also stock the dedicated Star Adventurer Tripod ref 52309, see related accessories. The latitude can be set by either adjusting the tilt of your tripod head to match your latitude or more accurately with the included Equatorial Wedge. To fit a camera to the Star Adventurer, either a tripod Ball Head can be fitted (not supplied) or to the supplied Dovetail L-Bracket. The Dovetail L-Bracket used in conjunction with the supplied counterweight shaft/counterweight also allows small telescopes (e.g. 70mm - 80mm refractor), with a ¼-20 tripod fitting, to be used with the Star Adventurer. By dispensing with the counterweight shaft, a small telescope and camera (using a ball head, not supplied) can be mounted simultaneously on the Dovetail L-bracket. Using just the dovetail bar from the Dovetail L-Bracket, two cameras can be mounted at the same time using two tripod ball heads (not supplied).

  Multiple set-up master!  Received my star adventurer very quickly, even during the Christmas rush. It offers so many variations of set-up for camera(s) or small telescope. Love the way it's possible to mount a camera and counterweight and still have the ability to use the polar telescope. It's very well designed and built.   (12/01/2019) David Hargreaves - Staffordshire Moorlands

  Excellent product and service  I had got as far as I could with static astrophotography and needed to invest in a tracker. I did a lot of research and the Star Adventurer was closest to my requirements. Harrisons was the best price including delivery I could find anywhere. Delivered next day by standard delivery.   (11/01/2019) Dave - Essex
