Gps Vehicle Tracker Model Jv200

I hesitated between the AirTag and a GPS tracker to have an exact location of my luggage after all the news channels were reporting the catastrophes of travelling summer 2022 (by the way nothing happened after 6 different flights). After all the online videos and reports of how well the AirTag works, I was convinced to buy and try. Any GPS tracker would need an extra monthly subscription. The AirTag does not have any extra fees and the location find was always working even across the Atlantic ocean. So far, so good.

This model sky tracker comes with a counterweight and declination mount. It is very convenient for heavier cameras and lenses, e.g., a DSLR and at least medium length zoom lens. Lighter cameras can attach with a ball mount (separate) for a very compact package. I found it easy to align the mount to Polaris using the built in polar alignment telescope - you do have to get Polaris within the alignment telescope's field of view by leveling the mount, setting your latitude and using a compass with magnetic offset. One minor issue: with the full setup (counterweight and declination mount), you can't control the orientation of the camera - it's like a telescope in that regard, but without the ability to rotate the focal plane. I found tracking to be very accurate, and I'm very happy with the device.

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!

This is my second one. I liked the first one one so much I got a second one for my other vehicle.

I use it in my vehicle, at the pool or anywhere you can think of!

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

keep some in every bag and vehicle

I own 5 of these, for work, camping, and 1 in each vehicle.

works like a charm in my vehicle.

If you travel in a vehicle and take photos, you will need one of these.
