Omegon MiniTrack LX3 Mount - Capturing the starry sky with ease.<\/strong>
The MiniTrack LX3 Essentials lets you take stunning photos of the Milky Way effortlessly. Even if you're not an experienced astrophotographer, you'll capture sharp constellations instantly. This mini mount works completely mechanically. No batteries, no charging. Just mount, wind up and follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compact, light and strong<\/strong>
The MiniTrack LX3 Essentials fits into any backpack. Yet it can carry cameras 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 durable. Perfect for travel and outdoor shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mechanical tracking of 60 minutes<\/strong>
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 spring system replaces a counterweight and keeps your camera stable, even under unilateral load. So even telephoto shots stay sharp, even in low temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy alignment<\/strong>
The MiniTrack Essentials uses a plastic pole finder tube to roughly align the pole direction. This makes it easy to track the stars. Attach the mount to your tripod with the 1\/4 inch screw and mount a ball head via the 3\/8 inch thread. No additional accessories required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible and reliable<\/strong>
The spring system can slow down or speed up the movement depending on the weight of your camera. This allows you to accurately track the stars and take sharp long-exposure photos. A smartphone app such as TapTempo helps you easily set the right tap frequency for your camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything you need<\/strong>
A tripod, the MiniTrack LX3 Essentials and your camera: that's it. No power, no complicated settings. Just shooting. Perfect for home, travel or stargazing adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
