Better astronomical photos on the road or at home

Take home not only vacation snapshots, but also stunning astronomical photos from your travels. It's easier than you think. All you need: a tripod, the MiniTrack, a spherical head and your camera. Reduced to the essentials, you have only one mission: good astrophotography within everyone's reach. Here's what it can do...

the world's smallest counterweight?

The MiniTrack LX Quattro has a completely new spring system. It's not a counterweight, but it works like one. It ensures that the LX Quattro remains as compact and travel-ready as ever. It's just better and stronger. The spring directly drives the axis and guides the camera like a strong, precise arm.

Tip: The ideal tracking speed is achieved when the mechanism ticks between 130 and 135 times per minute. You may need to adjust the spring tension depending on the weight of your camera. We recommend that you measure the ticks per minute with a TapTempo BPM app for smartphones. These apps are created for the music industry and are supposed to automatically measure the tempo of a song. But you can use such an app to measure the speed of the MiniTrack.
