ZWO CAA Camera Angle Adjuster
Precise Electronic Rotation Control for Your Camera!
Precisely position celestial objects in your camera's view and bring your perfect frame to life with the ZWO CAA Camera Angle Adjuster! Seamlessly sitting in your imaging train, this makes precision adjustments on the fly quick and easy. Paint your deep sky object picture exactly the way you want it with electronic rotation simplicity!
When it comes to bringing your perfect astrophoto from your mind to your digital screen, the need to adjust your camera angle is almost a certainty; because while there are cropping and mosaic techniques, if you want to maximize your time and resolution, physical rotation is your only choice! Enter the ZWO CAA Camera Angle Adjuster, which brings precise and electronically controllable rotation to your imaging rig. Installing in between your telescope and remaining imaging equipment, this precision add-on will adjust the angle of your gear in 0.02°/step increments for adjustment that is not just more convenient than a manual rotator but more accurate as well. These adjustments can be made via USB-C with the powerful software suites and WiFi camera control solutions in use today with support for both ASCOM and the incredible ASIAir line of accessories! This precision isn't exclusive to software control users either, with the Camera Angle Adjuster supporting the ZWO Hand Controller for EAF for a more hands on rotator experience with more fine control than a manual rotator can offer! As for integrating the CAA into your imaging train itself, ZWO has made things easy — with the Camera Angle Adjuster featuring an M54 telescope side connection, M54 and M48 imaging equipment adapters included, and an overall backspacing footprint of 16.5 mm that slots in perfectly with the most popular camera spacers and filter solutions. With 48 mm of clear aperture this is compatible with cameras all the way up to a full-frame sensor as well as ZWO's popular ASI2600 Duo and Air cameras. With all this if you're looking to add angle adjusting convenience, ZWO's CAA certainly makes a compelling case for the powerful picture pivot point companion for your system!
How To Install The ZWO CAA
With its 16.5 mm backfocus design, the ZWO CAA Camera Angle Adjuster fits in well with a number of standard ZWO spacers and accessories! Users with M54 telescopes and full-frame or Duo ZWO cameras won't need to purchase any separate spacers or adapters; simply attach the M48 or M54 plate to the CAA that corresponds with the 21 mm spacer included with your camera, thread the CAA to your scope or corrective element, attach the 21 mm spacer, spin on your camera, and you're ready to start imaging. If your equipment doesn't fit this template however don't fret—our Confirmed System Builds for the ZWO CAA covers everything you need to blueprint your own CAA imaging along with already charted builds!

you can dial in your perfect frame quickly. Adjustments are completed with
<0.1° accuracy to give you results that match the input given through
your digital planetarium; with an incredibly fine resolution of 0.02°
per step. This rotation precision and convenience can be used with

Streamlined Design
The ZWO CAA Camera Angle Adjuster
features a sleek and streamlined design for a seamless and simple
integration with your setup! Power and data connectivity are provided via a
USB-C port, which can be connected neatly to your telescope mounted control
device via the included USB-C to USB-A cable, or run to an external device
with commonly available cords. Alongside this is a 3.5 mm input jack for
ZWO's EAF hand controller (sold separately), which allows you to adjust the
rotation in a more manual but precise way! For extra security when
installing or removing the ZWO CAA and to assist in cases of tight threaded
connections, ZWO has added a simple locking mechanism. Simply insert the
included 1.5 mm hex wrench into the locking slot, and your CAA connections
will be held in place!
Stellar Software Compatibility
Controlling your
camera's angle from your software suite or WiFi camera control device is
easy! For mini PC and laptop users the ZWO CAA supports ASCOM control. As
the industry standard for Windows astronomy equipment control, this will
make the CAA available to the makers of popular imaging suites for a
seamless system control experience. This additionally can communicate with
the ASIStudio suite, providing users with a native and free solution to
communicate with the CAA. For users of ZWO's incredible ASIAir platform,
support for the Camera Angle Adjustment accessory has been added to expand
your wirelessly controlled system's capabilities!
