Product Description
The ZWO CAA (Camera Angle Adjuster) Electronic Rotator is a compact, motorized camera rotator designed for precise framing and composition in astrophotography. It allows you to electronically adjust your camera angle without manually rotating the entire imaging setup.
With a resolution of 0.02° per step and positioning accuracy of less than 0.1°, the CAA provides fine control when composing targets, adjusting framing, or capturing mosaics. Its high-efficiency stepper motor supports smooth rotation at speeds of up to 7.5°/s.
The CAA has a low-profile design with only 16.5mm of back-focus usage, making it suitable for compact astrophotography setups. It supports ASIAIR, ASIStudio, ASCOM, SDK, and EAF Controller control, giving astrophotographers multiple options for automated or manual operation.
A single USB Type-C connection provides power and data communication, helping simplify cable management. The CAA also features a 48mm clear aperture and can handle loads up to 5kg under the specified torque rating.
Whether you are refining composition, aligning a target, or working on a multi-panel mosaic, the ZWO CAA provides accurate electronic camera rotation while maintaining a rigid optical train.
