Hi everyone, I’m looking forward to the new MT Pro, I have a MT and love it and will continue to use at every opportunity for my lighter scopes. I have done a lot of research an the MT Pro including a lot of data mining, talking to iOptron’s tech. support people and here are the facts as I know them.

MiniTower Pro is a major upgrade over MiniTower in terms of mechanics and capabilities.

The internal structure has be redesigned with the following improvements:
1. The central axel is much bigger, stronger than the one in MiniTower.

2. New high-precision bearings. New high quality lubricant.

3. A new optical encoder with 6 times more resolution.

4. A major update in tripod. This is a whole new animal. The new tripod has 2 inch stainless steel legs and it is much taller than MiniTower tripod, I’m 6’3” and from what I can tell if you put a 107mm or 127mm scope one the MT Pro and look at Vega you will not have to be laying on the ground

5. Those structural improvements give MiniTower Pro a much bigger payload (33 lbs+10 lbs) and smoother tracking.

I WANT MY Mini Tower Pro NOWWWWWWWWW!!
