The advantages at a glance:
- Compact and lightweight (photo)mount, ideal for travelling

In their SkyHunter mounts, iOptron has refined and perfected the former “cube” mount and started a trend towards portable camera mounts - lightweight, compact and easy-to-use, yet fitted with lots of technology.
The SkyHunter mounts are available in three versions and can be fully controlled using a smartphone or tablet running iOS or Android. ASCOM and INDI are also supported. Using the built-in WiFi adapter, ASCOM, iOptron Commander or Sky Safari can be used to control the mount. Thanks to its 3/8 connection, the SkyHunter mounts can also sit on any camera tripod if desired.
Built-in optical encoders and four different tracking modes provide precise tracking, that can be used in the northern or southern hemisphere.
