MiniTower ProTM is the perfect combination of capacity and portability.

33 lbs of Payload

Born out of the popular iOptron CubeTM, The MiniTower ProTM is the ultimate observing

solution for people who are searching for a capable and portable GOTO telescope mount to counter light pollution in their backyards and for travel convenience. With a standard payload of 33 lbs, a rock solid 2” stainless steel tripod, metal worm and gear and two dovetail adaptors, The MiniTower ProTM is capable of handling various optical tube assemblies (OTAs). A 10-lbs counter weight and a secondary dovetail holder are provided for balancing an OTA weights more than 10 lbs, or for a secondary OTA.

Extremely Portable

With all the standard components (excluding the tripod) fitted in an aluminum alloy metal case, The MiniTower ProTM can easily travel in a car or taken as airline

luggage. The system takes about 10 minutes to assemble. This unlimited portability combined with the internal GPS gives amateur astronomers real flexibility in selecting an observing site.
