Even if you are not yet an experienced astrophotographer, you will instantly capture stunning images of the Milky Way and constellations. This mini mount works completely mechanically. No batteries, no charging, just turn and follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Compact, light and strong<\/strong><br>The MiniTrack LX3 is small enough to carry in a backpack. At the same time, it can carry cameras weighing up to 3 kg. This allows you to use even larger lenses or telephoto lenses without image shake. The CNC-machined aluminum body is sturdy and remains stable even during rough use or travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-Montering-MiniTrack-LX3-26.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon MiniTrack LX3 Mount mounting angle with slide bearing and attached tripod adapter\" class=\"wp-image-92715\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mechanical tracking of 60 minutes<\/strong><br>Wind the MiniTrack like an analog clock and track the stars for up to an hour. The large Teflon slide bearing ensures smooth movement. The new spring system replaces a counterweight and keeps your camera steady at all times. So even telephoto shots stay sharp, even in cold temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quick and easy alignment<\/strong><br>The optical polar finder helps you find the celestial pole accurately. With the Vixen-style mount, you place the MiniTrack directly on your tripod. Attaching a ball head? No problem, thanks to the 3\/8-inch thread. You don't need any additional accessories to shoot right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-Montering-MiniTrack-LX3-24.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon MiniTrack LX3 Mount setup in use with DSLR camera on pole alignment\" class=\"wp-image-92717\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Optimal flexibility for every shot<\/strong><br>The spring system can slow down or speed up the movement depending on the weight of your camera. This allows you to follow the stars precisely and take sharp long-exposure photos. With a smartphone app such as TapTempo, you can easily determine the perfect number of taps per minute for your camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Everything you need<\/strong><br>A tripod, the MiniTrack LX3, a ball head and your camera: that's it. No power, no complicated settings, just shoot.
