Gen 4

The design changes to the final major revision of the Nyx Tracker are minimal compared to the changes in Gen3.

• A low voltage indicator is now featured: a blue LED is activated at 3V to let the user know that the batteries should be replaced. 
• Hinge upgrade: the hinge is specially designed for the Nyx Tracker and is much stiffer than previous generations, aiding stability significantly.
• The laser colinearity with the alignment axis of the tracker has been improved, and is now guaranteed to be accurate within 1/4 degree (previously was 1/2 degree). 

 

Gen 3

Though the fundamental design remains the same, the Gen3 Nyx Tracker is a significant upgrade over Gen2.

• Size: overall volume has been reduced by ~25%
• Ballhead: upgraded to be able to hold heavier cameras
• Tracking rates: lunar and starscape modes added
• Weight: reduced ~50%
• Periodic error: reduced ~25%
• Finish: now features a durable lacquer finish
