Skywatcher Star Adventurer Mini Wi-Fi (SAM) – Photo Package

The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Mini Wi-Fi (SAM) is a compact, high-precision camera tracking platform designed for long-exposure astrophotography and time-lapse photography, both day and night. With its lightweight and portable design, SAM is an ideal travel companion, easily fitting into most backpacks or camera bags for convenient on-the-go use in remote locations.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Portable Astrophotography & Time-Lapse Companion: Weighing only 650g, SAM offers portability without compromising on performance. Its compact size (76x70x103mm) makes it easy to carry, making it ideal for photographers on the move.
  • Built-in Wi-Fi with Remote App Control: Featuring integrated Wi-Fi, SAM pairs seamlessly with the Star Adventurer Mini Console App for Android and iOS, allowing for remote control directly from your smartphone. The app also supports multiple languages, ensuring ease of use for a global audience.
  • Ideal for Widefield Astrophotography: While capable of supporting heavier lenses, SAM is optimised for wide-field astrophotography with standard lenses of 55mm or shorter, requiring only basic polar alignment—making it accessible for beginners as well as experienced photographers.
  • Versatile Tracking Modes: Equipped with solar, lunar, and sidereal tracking rates, SAM enables astrophotography across a variety of celestial objects and settings, from solar tracking during the day to star-scape photography at night.
  • Complete Astro Bundle Included: The Star Adventurer Mini Wi-Fi Astro Bundle includes the SAM mount, a ball head adaptor, polarscope, polarscope illuminator, equatorial wedge, and dovetail L-bracket for easy setup and versatile attachment options.

Order Fulfilment

  • Please contact us before sending anything back so we can advise on the safest way
  • For unwanted items, return shipping is your responsibility, and original shipping may be deducted where applicable
  • If a product is faulty or damaged, we’ll arrange repair, replacement or refund in line with your consumer rights — and we’ll cover reasonable return costs

Does it come with a warranty?

All our products are UK stock so come with manufacturers warranty

What happens if I don't like it?

We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.

If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.

Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.

We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.

How fast is shipping?

We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.

  • Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
  • Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
  • Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer

You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.

Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
