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: ≤2.5N·m*

The ZWO CAA is highly rigid and able to withstand torques less than or equal to 2.5Nm, maintaining operational accuracy and structural stability even under high load conditions.

Installation Steps

ZWO CAA 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.
