ZWO CAA The Camera Angle Adjuster - Precision Rotation & Tilt Adjustment for Astrophotography Cameras
The ZWO CAA (Camera Angle Adjuster) is an essential accessory for astrophotographers seeking precise camera rotation and angle adjustment to achieve perfect framing and composition of celestial objects. Designed by ZWO, a leading brand in astronomy imaging equipment, the CAA allows smooth 360-degree rotation and fine-tuning of your camera’s orientation without removing it from the telescope.
This tool is ideal for:
Astrophotography
Deep-sky imaging
Planetary photography
Solar & lunar imaging
Key Features of the ZWO CAA:
1. 360-Degree Smooth Rotation
Enables full rotation adjustment of your camera for optimal framing of celestial objects.
Eliminates the need to unscrew the camera, preventing thread wear and misalignment.
2. Secure & Stable Locking Mechanism
Features a locking screw to fix the camera at the desired angle without slippage.
Ensures vibration-free imaging for sharp, high-resolution photos.
3. Universal Compatibility
Works with ZWO ASI cameras (and other astronomy cameras with standard T-threads).
Compatible with filter wheels, off-axis guiders (OAG), and field flatteners.
Fits 1.25” & 2” focusers (adapter may be required for some setups).
4. Precision Machined Aluminum Construction
Made from high-quality aluminum for durability and lightweight performance.
Anodized finish protects against corrosion and wear.
5. Tool-Free Adjustment
Allows quick angle adjustments without additional tools, saving time during imaging sessions.
6. Reduced Tilt & Flexure
Minimizes optical tilt and flexure issues, ensuring better star shapes and focus accuracy.
7. Easy Integration with Existing Setups
Installs between the telescope focuser and camera/filter wheel for seamless use.
Maintains backfocus distance (important for systems with reducers or correctors).
Why Choose the ZWO CAA?
Improves framing accuracy for DSOs (Deep-Sky Objects), planets, and the Moon.
Saves time by avoiding repeated camera removal for rotation.
Enhances image quality by reducing mechanical flexure.
Durable & lightweight design for field and observatory use.
