Join me on my first look , my experience and my first video in a series with the SkyWatcher GTI mount. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced imager, this mount is packed with impressive go-to abilities.
Together, we'll dive into the unboxing and assembly process, including the saddle upgrade, exploring the build quality and any quirky features I've discovered along the way. I'll also share some helpful tips on what to look out for.
I'll find out just how easy it is to pair up the SynScan app and showcase some real-life examples of the incredible payload this small, portable mount can handle.
Thanks to my subscribers and thank you for 1300 subs! I am a tiny channel and I appreciate you all for following my journey in astrophotography.

If you want to tighten up the polar scope CAP on the Star Adventurer & the GTI, heat each side of the cap up with a hair dryer. Then move each tab outward about 1/16" until it cools. The cap will never fall off again when hit with your hand. The screw for the battery door access will be lost in no time at all, they should have used a "captive" screw for that, I guess the Engineers getting the big bucks couldn't think of that.......ALSO ON THE GTI, the polar scope cap fits without batteries inserted......once you install the batteries the tabs are too long and hit the last battery so they cannot engage the detent to hold the cap in place. . I cut my tabs shorter about 1/8" and then it engaged.

I have been using my Sky-Watcher AZ GTi which I can set up in less than one minute and a 6" Schmidt Cassegrain (off a 6se). When the weather warms up, I will start using my brand new Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi so that I can gather more than 15-20 minutes worth of data.

Now I need to go back and look through my box, because I SWEAR mine came with a straight USB-B end, and I was just thinking the other day, that I need a right angle USB cable.

@MrIzmirli35

there is a new one called EQ AL55i Pro and i think it is better than GTI because you can load up to max 10 kg and you have all also the same quality

@antoniohaluzan3396

I used it for more than a year very actively. It developed severe backlash in both RA and DEC. Every second night after that I had to tune the backlash which is pain in the......now I have harmonic drive mount

@dobsonsky9056

i think in terms of performance it equals AZ GTI eq mod with wedge

@jonathanr2830

Well done! Solid. Thank you!

@indysbike3014

Try putting the polar scope cover back with the batteries installed ...

@John-en2cd

Nice video. I enjoyed it. I did like how you redone the saddle with the ADM. Great job! John

I bought one and I cannot figure out how to do the polar alignment. I just have it sitting in my garage. I bought it from High Point Scientific.

@triple9finestacker631

I really appreciate your tutorials... im downloading them for future reference! You do a really good job of explaining things making it seem alot easier than im thinking it would be. Im excited to be getting into this hobby.

@chewychop

Super helpful for folks getting into the hobby. Especially me. Thank you.

This is the mount that I’ve had my eye on for quite a while and after watching all these reviews I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Solid review, and clear skies!

@Jim_Mundy

Great review. New sub. Still in the mirrorless camera (A74) and Rokinon 135 f/2.0. It seems to be ok with my MSM Nomad but this mount is still very tempting. Thank you!

@lukesastro2380

Great review, thanks for sharing.

I don't have any sky tracker at all and trying to get into the astrophotography hobby. It seems like a very usefull tool to get start with. It's a very usefull video and you explain it well. Thanks for showing things like the damage that the litle bolt can do :)
