Versatile Mount

I just love this mount and have been using it just about every clear night. Using the SynScan app on my phone and iPad, it’s easy to align and control by wifi. The primary encoder is accurate enough to place targets in high power eyepieces; the secondary (“Freedom Find”) encoder not so much (but I rarely enable it). One complaint I have is the azimuth/RA axis was too stiff when I got the mount and eventually the gears began vibrating while tracking at high altitudes, making it difficult to observe planets because the mount was vibrating so much at high magnification. I ended up disassembling the mount, applying grease to the bearings, ring and worm gears (taking care not to contaminate the friction surface of the clutch) and loosening the main nut enough to allow the azimuth to rotate freely with the clutch disengaged, but tight enough to immobilize it with the clutch engaged. This completely cured tightness and vibration. I also added a counter weight bar which allows this mount to hold more weight than the recommended payload weight limit of 5 kg (11 lbs.). Finally I am very satisfied with Telescopes Canada for sending me this mount quickly and inexpensively, and for honouring their price match policy after I purchased it.

Nice portable mount works great in my living room. Did have to figure out which way to insert the scope 🤔 so was interesting at first but it works great 👍

Great Mount

Would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone with a scope weighing less than 10 lb., Make sure you use it, research how it works because practice / knowledge makes perfect !

Perfect for any Situation

Sky-Watcher's AZ-GTi is the perfect tracking platform for those seeking a compact travel mount capable of both Alt-Az Go-To alignment and video timelapse. Boasting a payload capacity of 11lbs, this modular AZ mount can support anything from a small Maksutov or refractor, to a mid-sized DSLR for timelapse photography. Weighing just 8.6 lbs, the AZ-GTi is the ideal travel mount, easily fitting in carry-on luggage and perfect for grab-and-go situations.

Revolutionary WiFi Control

The AZ-GTi is one of the first Sky-Watcher products featuring built in WiFi control. Once connected to the mount, use Sky-Watcher's SynScan Pro app to align the mount for celestial tracking or the SynScan PTZ app for timelapse photography.

Easy Integration with any Tripod

The AZ-GTi includes an adjustable aluminium tripod with built in pier extension. The mount can attach to a tripod using a 3.8"-16 thread and includes an adapter for ¼"-20 thread sizes, making it capable of mounting to nearly any tripod.

Automatic Shutter Release Control

No need for an intervelometer timer with the AZ-GTi! With a 60-second preset exposure setting, the AZ-GTi can trigger a DSLR using the auxiliary shutter release cable. Once the camera is plugged into the mount and a shot is fired, it will continually shoot 60 second exposures until the cable is removed.

Available in three configurations

Whether it's the mount-only, with a 102mm Maksutov OTA, or with a 127mm OTA the AZ-GTi delivers the perfect grab-and-go system for the astronomer that's on the move.

The AZ-GTi comes with the mount head, pier extension and tripod.
