The ASIAIR Mini brings ZWO's incredible All-in-One astrophotography command center to its smallest form factor to date! This miniaturization process has kept the ASIAIR's big standout features however, with access to all the guiding, hardwired equipment control, and digital planetarium features of the ZWO ASIAIR Plus and AIR Cameras. All of the incredible imaging modes are here too, mirroring its bigger siblings in all but Live stack which is capped at a still impressive 26 MP camera resolution limit! This compact control center comes equipped with four 12V DC output ports, four USB 2.0 ports, and a DSLR SNAP port for controlling and powering your gear. Control over your system has never been simpler, with an intuitive app for iOS and Android devices that allows you to connect to your gear wirelessly on your phone or tablet! This is all packed in CNC machined housing, equipped with an external antenna that extends your range compared to previous internal antenna models. The ASIAIR Mini handles the image capture process from start to finish. This includes focusing, polar alignment, autoguiding and more! Even a budding astrophotographer can get up and running quickly with this mini device.
Powerful connectivity in a modest frame!
When attached to your imaging system, this small powerhouse allows for control of DSLR or ASI cameras wirelessly through your phone or tablet. This allows for imaging from the comfort of your home, car, or tent!
All-in-One Software Solution
With just one device, you have all the imaging software you need in the palm
of your hand! The ASIAIR Mini comes loaded with image capture, mount
control, auto-guiding, auto-focusing, and control for ZWO accessories,
giving you everything you need to start orchestrating imaging
routines! With a digital planetarium called the SkyAtlas, you can quickly find
targets to image and preview your framing—which can be combined with
the Autorun and Plan modes to automate sessions for one or more targets, and
one more panels with mosaic support. A great tool for both beginning and
experienced astroimagers, the ASIAIR Mini controller will simplify sessions
and save precious imaging time by eliminating the need to research,
download, configure, and integrate different programs together!
The Smallest, Most Portable ASIAIR Yet
The ASIAIR Mini is the smallest, most compact, most lightweight entry in the
ZWO ASIAIR line of WiFi controllers. The ASIAIR Mini retains almost all the
functionality of the ASIAIR Plus, but in a form factor that is 42% smaller
and 21% lighter. This means easier and faster transport and setup. Less
weight also means it takes up less payload capacity of your mount and
tripod!
Simple and User-Friendly Remote Control
The ASIAIR Mini has a built-in WiFi antenna making the connection between
your device and the ASIAIR Mini more stable, and enabling the signal range
to be wider. With the inclusion of the antenna, you will ultimately see a
stronger WiFi signal and faster communication. This small device can totally
replace your computer or a mount hand controller. With wireless technology,
you can even control your astrophotography gear from inside! The dual-band,
enhanced WiFi antenna can receive and transmit at 2.4GHz and 5GHz
frequencies. All the software and hardware for the ASIAIR Mini WiFi
Controller are brought together with an easy-to-use interface that you can
access on your phone or tablet. With this feature, your computer no longer
has to do double duty and you won’t have to figure out how to manage remote
software. Once powered on the ASIAIR Mini automatically broadcasts a WiFi
signal, so just download the app, connect, and you’re ready to start
imaging!
Attach Multiple Devices with an Abundance of Ports
The value in this class of devices resides largely in the ports, which allow
for expanded functionality. Despite its small form factor, the ASIAIR Mini
does not disappoint! The ASIAIR Mini has four 12V DC outputs for the
connection of cameras, mounts, dew heaters, and other accessories. It also
includes four USB2.0 ports to support additional ZWO accessories such as
their precise focus assistant
EAFN, perfect framing add-on
CAA, or convenient electronic filter wheels. Lastly, the Mini includes a DSLR
shutter release port and a USB-C port for wired PC connectivity. Indicators
for power, WiFi network status, and system I/O status are also built-in!
Recovery Mode and eMMC
ZWO has included a Recovery Mode where the system will detect faults and
recover itself if the ASIAIR Mini cannot boot up. So, get ready for a smooth
and stable experience with the ASIAIR Mini! Part of this stable system is
the 32 GB eMMC storage, which provide you with 20 GB of free space to store
images and videos. This storage is quick, with 119 Mb/s read and 65 Mb/s
write speeds that make using the ASIAIR Mini a fluid experience!
