Remember the Essentials

Batteries are not included. Be sure to purchase batteries so you won't get caught without power.

Based on the GP2 mount that's so well-respected throughout the world, the Vixen GP2 Photo Guider is an all-inclusive solution for taking perfectly-crisp wide field images with your SLR camera.  Its 144-tooth gearing, motorized movement, and included polar axis scope all allow you to get even the faintest of stars to come out in your pictures as pinpoint dots.  Best of all, the GP2 Photo Guider is quite portable, tucking away into the included bag and weighing ~14 lbs (~6.5kg) with all the bits and pieces.  Get a fast short telephoto to go with your SLR and prepare for some amazing pictures.

Just like the GP2 mount itself, the machining on the GP2 Photo Guider is the embodiment of Japanese-made precision-with gearing tolerances and lubricants that quickly convey the feeling you get when dealing with a high-quality product made with a firm's reputation in mind.

The package of the GP2 Photo Guider comes with a custom shortened tripod, SD-1 controller with MT-1 motor, battery box, polar axis scope for precise Celestial North alignment and a case for everything. All you need to use it is your SLR camera and 6 "C" batteries.
