New: SkyWatcher Star Adventurer GTI

[AdamJL]

Looks like a nice little travel EQ unit.
2.6kg weight, and 5kg weight capacity.

I know that many use the AZ-GTI as an EQ mount with upgraded firmware. This could be a direct replacement for that, but in the Star Adventurer line.

Most of the links have been in Europe so far, nothing locally that I could find.

Iv got to say Im a bit excited by this little mount.

Iv has a star adventurer for quite a few years and really like how portable and what it can achieve with guiding, this new mount would be a great upgrade without getting too heavy.

I so hope its not a hoax or vaporware.

I reckon it’s legit, as SkyWatcher has a “new product announcement” on their weekly webcast this weekend.

It would be nice if that 5kg weight capacity could be bumped a little bit though.
