It's simpler than it seems. All you need is a tripod, the MiniTrack mount, a ball head, and your camera. Reduced to the essentials, this equipment has a clear mission: to take astrophotos that catch everyone's attention. And it fulfills it perfectly...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e60-minute mechanical tracking\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiniTrack has a mechanical heart with no room for electronics. A high-precision clock is responsible for precisely guiding your camera. Tracking starts by simply winding the MiniTrack like an analog clock. The mount never stops, even at sub-zero temperatures. It works smoothly even with telephoto lenses. That's why it's not surprising that this specialist in wide-field captures has won the hearts of so many amateur astronomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLike a counterbalance: improved spring system\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MiniTrack LX3 does not have a counterbalance, but rather a spring system that replaces it and makes this mount an extremely compact and travel-friendly option. And the novelty: an improved spring system is responsible for keeping the camera in place when weight is loaded on a single end and for accelerating or slowing down tracking. This increases flexibility and precision when tracking the path of celestial bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTip: The ideal tracking speed is when the clock ticks 130-135 times per minute. The spring should be tensioned individually depending on the weight of the camera you attach. To measure ticks per minute, we recommend using a \"TapTempo-App BPM\" metronome for smartphones. This is a tool designed to automatically measure the tempo of a piece of music. Feel free to download one of these applications to measure the speed of your MiniTrack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Teflon bushing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MiniTrack has undergone a complete design improvement: its new Teflon bushing is larger and ensures incredibly fluid movement so that your camera glides even more smoothly during tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCNC machined housing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore beautiful to look at but also more durable: this is the housing of the new MiniTrack LX3 mount, which is made of much more resistant milled aluminum. So don't be afraid to put your mount through its paces! Quality is assured even after years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigher load capacity, same portability\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou always have to go one step further: the MiniTrack now supports cameras up to 3 kg. But the mount remains as small, light and easy to transport as before. The difference is that it now allows larger cameras or those with longer lenses to be attached. And all with the same great stability as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompatible with any tripod\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MiniTrack mount has two connections: for a tripod and for a camera or ball head. You just have to place the MiniTrack as usual on the 1\/4\" screw of your photographic tripod and orient it in the desired direction. At the other end, a ball head with a 3\/8\" thread can be attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigned and developed by Christian Fattinnanzi\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MiniTrack mount is a creation of the Italian Christian Fattinnanzi. Omegon is responsible for its distribution, thus making it available to a wider circle of photographers and nature lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this mechanical mini-mount, you can now take astrophotos without complications. No electricity. No charging. No batteries. It's photography in its purest form.
