Part Number: ZWO CAA
ZWO CAA Camera Angle Adjuster
ETA from mid-January 2025.
The long-awaited ZWO CAA electronic camera rotator has been released 🙂
Why use the ZWO Camera Angle Adjuster?
The ZWO CAA enables you to conveniently rotate your astrophotography camera to achieve perfect composition.
It offers high performance, excellent build quality, a load-bearing capacity of ≥4kg, and automated software control to simplify astrophotography composition.
Compact and Lightweight Design
Despite its lightweight design, the ZWO CAA offers exceptional performance. Measuring 16.5mm thick, it replaces the standard ZWO adapter and weighs only 465g.
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.
High Positioning Accuracy: 0.02°/step
The ZWO CAA adjusts the camera angle with an accuracy of 0.02° for each step. Its positioning accuracy is better than 0.1 degrees, and the adjusted angular error will not exceed 0.1°.
High Rigidity and High Load Capacity: ≤25cN·m*
The ZWO CAA is highly rigid and can 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).
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 enables manual control via a compatible hand controller (not included in the standard package but can be purchased separately).
Easy Cable Management
The ZWO CAA needs only 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: This is used to connect the optional hand controller.
Locking slot: You can insert a standard hex wrench into the pinhole and lock the rotation to assist in removing jammed adapters or accessories.
Connection
- With 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, an optional adapter is available as an accessory.
- 55mm back focus distance:
Installation Steps
1. Install the CAA on the threaded drawer tube adapters.
2. Install the optional M54 (21mm) adapter to maintain the focusing distance.
3. Install your camera. If you use a camera with an M48 interface, you can change the ZWO CAA camera threads from M54 to M48 using the supplied accessory plate.
