Fitness Tracker With Camera

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

I love this. It is barely any extra weight and gives me the peace knowing that I have a tracker on my camera!

I recently purchased the iOptron SkyGuider astral tracker and really wasnt sure if Id need this or not...so I bought it just in case.  Im so glad I did.  Not only is some kind of camera mount a must-have with that tracker mount, but this ball head really rocks.  Ive always been leery of ball head mounts, considering them way less rugged than the old school three-plane mount Ive used for years... I couldnt believe it, but this compact ball head mount kept my full frame nikon body and a nikon 200-500MM zoom lens rock steady for 3+ hours on an astral tracker mount.  Im talking a camera/lens combo that weighs just about 10 lbs!     If you need a very compact, very robust mount...just get this one.  You wont be sorry!

This is what I've been waiting to find for my virtual fitness studio. I run linux fedora and this camera connected right away without the hassle of needing to avoid hot plugging. I just have a standard G-Vario 12-60 mm lens and still the picture quality is excellent. Only drawback having to adjust the picture from my desktop via USB connection rather than directly on the camera. Also, the buttons on the camera could be better, they are very flat and can be hard to manipulate. But the input/outputs are so rugged!

I use Peak/Arca compatible camera mounts most everywhere, but these are the perfect compliment and have found me using these everywhere from my start tracker which is what prompted the solution, to my tripods and all my tripod heads.

I was looking for a shutter release cable between my Canon 1200D and my star tracker mount so I could control the camera through the mount's app. I was quickly directed to this cable and it fits both my camera and mount perfectly and works like a charm! Nice length with enough slack to allow for a full range of motion without any significant tension. I definitely recommend.

I saw this recommended to fit between my Move Shoot Move star tracker and the ballhead under my camera body. It solves the problem of the ballhead directly on the MSM coming loose as it rotates throughout the evening. I use the set screws on the undreside of the QS-50 to get a tighter connection on the MSM. So far I have been using it to do longer sub frames and for up to two hours without any problems.

We are using the Tracker 3.0 for camera movement in Unreal Engine and for the price, it can't be beat. Well done Vive.

I had another brand of star tracker that my toddler got her hands on so this was its replacement. The polar alignment camera with this setup is amazing. All my subs are spot on from one to another which I had difficulty attaining with the alignment scope my other tracker had for polar alignment. I'm using a DSLR and a 135mm lens. Pros: Small size for easy transport. Polar camera makes polar alignment very accurate and easy. Tracks like you would expect it to. Built in chargeable battery. Cons: No way to control camera shutter without an additional hand controller which is sold separately. You'll need an intervalometer if your camera can't do multiple long exposures by itself.

I love the Slik ECH-630 compact star tracker because you can take it anywhere and it fits in my camera bags perfectly and does not take up a lot of space like my other larger trackers. The quality of the product is excellent and is solidly built. I have used this for multiple time-lapse and milky way shots even during the last solar eclipse. one of the best features is being able to connect an external USB battery pack and it gives you days instead of just 20 hours. The only issue I have with this star tracker is the alignment using just the 2 visual ports on the device but I have a solution for that and purchased a green bore laser and can now polar align perfectly. I highly recommend this and also the SLIK SMH-250.
