Product Description
ASIAIR PRO is a smart WiFi device. It is equipped with a lightweight power management module, ample USB interfaces, and multiple dovetail mounting methods.
With the rich features of the ASIAIR App, the whole procedure from device integration to image capture runs particularly smooth.
ASIAIR PRO is the second generation of ZWO that has been continuously improved and newly designed since the first generation of ASIAIR was released in July 2018.
Outstanding Features
1. Excellent craftsmanship, strong tactile appeal
Superb craftsmanship with a strong tactile appeal ASIAIR PRO shell is made out of aluminum and processed by CNC tech. After the surface is anodized, it not only protects the shell well, but also has a comfortable feel. The size of the whole machine is 92 x 67 x 35 mm, making its size and weight excellent, which can be easily grasped by hand.
2. Unique look and easy installation
The slot/port position of ASIAIR PRO is nice and symmetrical, with M4 and 1/4 inch openings on the bottom and the side. With the use of the dovetail, the installation and removal become easy. The whole machine adopts bright vibrant Ferrari red tones, and the front is painted with laser star maps of the constellation Ursa Minor and Ursa Major, which is very beautiful.
3. Integrated power management, more storage space
ASIAIR PRO is equipped with a lightweight power management module. There are four DC 5.5 x 2.1 mm power outputs on the side of the body, one DSLR shutter release port, two USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports each. The power supply is stable and reliable, the interface is rich and diverse, and the wiring is easy and orderly. It also comes with 84 GB of free storage, so you can capture images freely.
Note:ASIAIR PRO’s or ASIAIR Plus’s USB power supply is not enough for ASI6200/ASI2600/ASI533//ASI071MC cameras to work normally, so please use an external 12V power supply, which can be connected to the ASIAIR PRO’s power management as well.
4. LED indicator, clearly indicates the working status
The LEDs will show the working status clearly. What’s more, it has the key operation warning tone, which makes the whole operation under control.
Note: You can enhance the WiFi signal of ASIAIR by using the ZWO WiFi extender.

Matt Shelton – :
Hi. I’ve read elsewhere that functionality of the ASIAir Pro is “limited” when using a DSLR. Other than not being able to use a Go To function, what capabilities would I not be able to use when using my DSLR?
0
1
ZWO.Moson – :
The Go To function is depend on the mount, it will not limited when using a DSLR. If the ASIAIR PRO support your mount, and the DSLR can successfully exposure in the preview mode, it means the Go To function is working normally.
Some Nikon cameras need to use shutter release cable due to the exposure limited. And all the DSLR can’t take videos when connect to ASIAIR PRO(for new version 1.5).

Davide Cattani – :
I really love the idea of ASI AIR Pro, and I think it’s the future, but I have a Celestron Motor Focuser on my Rasa 8″ and I guess it is not supported. Is this correct? In case, will it be in the future?
Many thanks for your hard work!

1) Can you use the ASIAIR Pro with a ASI174MM Camera for solar imaging?
2) Is the Pro able to keep up with the high frame rate?
3) Would I be better off using a computer and software instead of the Pro?
Thanks
0

ZWO.Moson – :
1.Yes, you can use the ASIAIR PRO with a ASI174MM Camera for solar imaging.
2.The ASIAIR PRO can’t keep up the high frame rate due to the limitation of the hardware.
3.Using the ASIAIR PRO will be more easier than computer. You can choose any way that is convenient for you.
