Rotate your camera with ease and compose your shots with one click -ZWO CAA- ZWO CAA (Camera Angle Adjuster) is ZWO’s new camera rotator, designed to meet the needs of astro imagers looking for that perfect image composition, its outstanding performance, simplified composition process, automated software control , making astrophotography composition easy. ZWO CAA, making astrophotography easy and fun.
Why ZWO CAA?
1. Compact and Lightweight Design
Despite its lightweight design, the ZWO CAA offers exceptional performance. The CAA weighs in at only 16 ounces and measures 16.5mm thick it replaces the standard ZWO adapter.
2. High Efficiency
The ZWO CAA is equipped with a high-efficiency stepper motor for smooth and precise operation, which can be positioned precisely to the target angle. Its robust internal structure guarantees zero deformation in the full 360° rotation, ensuring stable and precise operation.
3. High Positioning Accuracy: 0.02°/step
ZWO CAA adjusts the camera angle with an accuracy of 0.02° for each step. The positioning accuracy of the ZWO CAA is better than 0.1 degrees, and the adjusted angular error will not exceed 0.1°.
4. High Rigidity and High Load Capacity: ≤25cN·m*
The ZWO CAA is highly rigid and able to withstand torques less than or equal to 25cNm (centiNm), maintaining operational accuracy and structural stability even under high load conditions.
*Tested by ZWO laboratory, the device can operate stably with ASI461+7x50EFW+1kg additional load (overall ≥4kg).
5. High Speed: 7.5°/s
The ZWO CAA rotates at a speed of up to 7.5° per second, reducing waiting times.
Multi-Compatibility
The ZWO CAA is compatible with a wide range of telescope types and supports multiple imaging software, including ASIAIR, ASIStudio, and ASCOM. It also allows manual control via a compatible hand controller*.
*The hand controller is not included in the standard package and must be purchased separately.
Easy Cable Management
ZWO CAA reduced cable management needings a single Type-C data cable for power supply and control.
Product Details
Type-C interface:Power supply and data transmission in one connection.
HC interface:For connecting the hand controller.
Locking slot:You can insert a standard hex wrench into the pin hole and lock the rotation to assist in removing jammed adapters or accessories.
Connection
With the ZWO FF series refractors, with or without the reducer, you can use the standard adapters (M48) supplied with the telescope and your ZWO camera replacing the 16.5mm adapter with the CAA. if you have a Duo or 2600AIR camera and wish to use M54 then an optional adapter is available as an accessory.
55mm back focus distance:
Installation Steps
Step 1. Install the CAA on the threaded drawer tube adapters.
Step 2. Install the optional M54 (21mm) adapter to maintain the focusing distance.
Step 3. Install your camera. If you are using a camera with an M48 interface you can change. the ZWO CAA camera threads from M54 to M48 using the supplied accessory plate.
