The most advanced star tracker in its class. The Star Adventurer now
includes built in WIFI, this now aligns with its little brother SAM (
Star Adventurer MINI ), but that’s not all. The new 2i version now
includes the advanced firmware dial and features. The Star Adventurer is
known as the gateway into astrophotography, with these upgrade features
making it an even more powerful and enjoyable astrophotography tool.
2i is perfectly suited to the
increasingly-popular art form of nighttime landscape and starscape
photography. Track the night sky in lunar, solar, or sidereal modes
while pre-programmed parameters ensure perfect exposure times. There’s
even an integrated shutter release for your DSLR. We love the Star
Adventurer because it’s also a perfect choice for any smaller optical
tube with a Vixen-style connection. This compact tracking mount is your
ideal companion for a camping trip or other outdoor excursion, since you
can view the stars and capture them with one versatile piece of gear.

We would like to share a review on Star Adventurer for your reference and
use:
SkyNews, 2014 Nov and Dec Issue. The review is done by Alan Dyer, a
seasoned astrophotographer in Canada.
Here are the highlights in the review:
Great polar alignment. Reticle helps the procedure nicely in northern and
southern hemisphere
EQ wedge easy to adjust, yet stable
long battery life - 4 AA lasted for dozen nights of testing
Great for wide angle (35mm - 50mm) astropoto, slight trailing with 135mm
(but other brands do the same), but can be corrected with Autoguiding
Overall - compact, well-built, versatile
