Redesigned from the ground up, the Vixen Optics Polarie U Star Tracker Camera Mount Head is 20% lighter than the original model and has a better payload capacity, making this a more compact and portable solution for wide-field astrophotography, starscape, and time-lapse applications. A self-contained Wi-Fi module has also been added and works with the companion Polarie U app for Android and iOS devices to give you greater control of the mount head for advanced shooting techniques and custom tracking speeds. The head can be mounted on a tripod in standard orientation or on its side, depending on how you're using it, and is compatible with both 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 tripods with a standard 1/4"-20 stud for your camera. This updated model runs on four AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries and has a USB Type-C port for using external battery packs for a longer runtime. This is just the mount head, you'll need to supply your own camera, tripod, and ball head to use it properly.
