Description

The SLIK ASTRA ECH-630 Astro-Tracker is a compact motorized turntable with speed settings for star, moon, and time-lapse photography.

The SLIK ASTRA ECH-630 Astro-Tracker is a compact motorized turntable with speed settings for star, moon, and time-lapse photography.

Drive with 4 AA batteries

The SLIK ASTRA ECH-630 Astro-Tracker runs with 4 high-quality AA-sized batteries for up to 20 hours of celestial tracking, more than enough for a full night.

The unit also has a micro USB port to connect an external battery for even longer run times.

Two Peeping Holes for Polar Alignment

The unit has Two Peeping Holes for Polar alignment.

Once Polalis comes into view through the peep hole L, move the unit to confirm through the hole S.

Set up for Astronomical Photography

Together with the Micro Motion Head SMH-250 and the Ball Head SBH-330, you can quickly align Polar axis and start shooting stars.

Set up for vertical rotation for Time-Lapse shooting

In previous models, the camera has always been fixed when doing time-lapse photography, and it can offer a finer rotational angle and rotational speed settings.

It expands the possibilities of time-lapse photography and enables a variety of interesting video expressions by the creative mind.

Some Astro-tracking heads can weigh up to 5kg but weigh just 630g and take up about the same amount of room as a 24-70mm lens in your camera bag.

This makes it perfect for photographers who hike into remote locations to shoot the stars.

The SLIK ASTRA ECH-630 Astro-Tracker capacity varies based on its angle.

It can hold up to 5kg when the turntable is flat and up to 2kg at a 90-degree angle. (See instructions for further details.)

This makes it perfect for light-weight DSLR cameras or mirrorless cameras with fast prime lenses.
