Fitness Tracker Army Base

Although the most expensive of the fitness tracker watches, it worth it for serious trackers. Highly recommend.

Ordered this to replace a smaller Acratech. I have a star tracker with an upgraded and larger base than the original and wanted a larger diameter leveling base so I could see the bubble level. The level on the Acratech sticks out further from the base than does the level on this leveling base which makes them ALMOST the same. But, this does stick out far enough. I thought with the bigger diameter the bubble level would stick out further than it does. This base works so much more smoothly and easily than the Acratech. There is no comparison. It locks firmly and stays in place with the tracker, Cannon EF300 L f2.8 lens, extender, lens adapter and counterweight. And no more concussions to boot!! (Story for another time)

I purchased this product for use with an iOPTRON Sky Tracker, which has no panning base per se. The PB-90 makes it easy to align the mount in a northerly direction once the tripod is leveled. The PB-90 is very well made and finished. The operation is smooth and without any play. It would also be useful with ball heads without a panning base, such as the Arca Ball P0, which is normally used inverted with the built-in panning base on top.

I have been using the Star Adventurer tripod, with my Star Adventurer tracker. But when it came time to do my polar alignment: turning the latitude base, towards Polaris, the latch (on their tripod) made it difficult to do that. I struggled with it. But with this tripod, the knob makes it so much easier to turn the whole base towards Polaris. It's big enough to grasp and turn the tracker towards Polaris and lock it in. This made it a time saver for me out in the field.

I use this with my Star Adventurer Pro Tracker and the Leveling Base is a perfect match! It's a must accessory. Love it. So easy to use. A hook on the bottom would be a nice feature, but I simply use a velcro strip to hold added weight to stabilize the tripod. In summary, the Leveling Base is fantastic!

Well I haven't gotten to use it yet because of the storms here in California but I do like the build quality and the new features like being able to remove the tracker from the alt-azm base and reverse it. The new design of the alt-azm base works great. The adjustable scope reticule brightness is a HUGE plus for me. Sometimes Polaris is very dim and the old tracker scope's led was too bright. The dim setting will be a huge plus in these instances. The negatives for me are the size and the weight capacity. The boxy design of the new model is a little awkward on the Celestron alt-azm tripod I use, especially with the counterweight kit attached. I'm not sure why iOptron needed to make the case that much bigger if the innards are still the same. Then the maximum weight capacity has gone down by a pound. Not sure why since this mount looks beefier than the original model. As soon as the skies are clear, I will try it out. I'm sure it will be just as accurate as the original version but hopefully maybe a bit better. For the extra features of the Pro, I would definitely recommend it over the original SkyTracker unless you need a more streamlined-looking model. If that is the case, you still can't go wrong with the original SkyTracker!

Currently serving in the Army it’s the same ACOG issued to us.

It's the Swiss Army Knife of light manipulation!

Great notebook. I use this as my gardening tracker so it holds up well.

I use this mostly for full lenght shots with fitness models
