Gents/Ladies,

I have a 1Ds III I want to use for wide field photography. Can you recommend a high quality camera tracker?
Money is always an issue but I will get the best before buying marginal equipment. Total weight of camera and lens system is around 6 pounds.

Thank you for your replies and please point me to another forum if necessary. Cheers

Hi Jim,

The iOPTRON sky tracker works extremely well, provided you already have a solid camera tripod. It sells for around $300 and is solidly made. Also I recommend you get their dedicated ball head for $50.

Good luck,
Klaus
