Economical Goto Mounts for Everyone

Arriving around July 22nd!
The New Mini-Tower
The Mini-Tower is
the perfect combination of capacity and portability.
25 lbs. of Payload Born out of the popular iOptron Cube, Mini-Tower is
the ultimate observing solution for people who are searching for a
capable and portable GoTo telescope mount to counter light pollution in
their backyards and for travel convenience. With a standard payload of
25 lbs, a rock solid 1.5”alloy/stainless steel tripod, metal worm and
gear and two dovetail adaptors, Mini-Tower is capable of handling a
majority of the OTA's that have ever been made. Its payload can be even
further enhanced by more than 50% with heavy-duty accessories.
Extremely Portable With all the standard components (excluding the
tripod) packaged in an alloy metal case, the Mini-Tower can easily be
carried around in a car trunk or as an airline luggage. The whole system
takes only 10 minutes to assemble. This unlimited portability, combined
with the internal GPS, gives amateur astronomers extreme flexibility in
selecting an observing location.
Accurate GoTo and Tracking Equipped with the most advanced SmartStar
GoTo technology, Mini-Tower is one of the most powerful and accurate
GoTo mounts. The standard 8401 hand controller offers the superb
navigation experience with an 8 line LCD back-lit display, a huge
130,000 object database and a USB port for easy connection with ASCOM
compliant PC planetarium programs. With a typical GoTo accuracy of 1 arc
minute and the SmartStar precision auto-tracking, the Mini-Tower will
consistently bring the celestial object of your choice to the center of
the eye-piece and keep tracking for hours.
Additional unique features including automatic over-current protection,
automatic clutch protection for both axes, easy 3-point level
adjustment, dual scope setup with two dovetails and much more,
Mini-Tower is one of the most user-friendly GoTo mounts available today.
