Something within reach to help move public awareness & discovery of this phenomenon forward? No issues with that 👍. Thanks for the time you took to show us everything and how you did it yourself ✅
@@beekneed thanks! Appreciate that. It is really good to see products being marketed for the everyday person (with limited technical skill like me necessary 😅). The plug and play will make our chances of capturing something much better.
Excellent telescope. It does everything that I would want. The Tracker is particularly useful and sought after in especially in this day and age. You can expect my custom in January for my birthday present. Thank you.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Expedition X had used a similar bespoke tool that was able to utilise it's own database to identify flying objects and UAP but it was made in very small numbers and super expensive. Can't wait to get my hands on this!
I know this will sound like a bot comment, but this is perfect. I was just starting to look into computerized telescopes myself for UFOs. I got some relatively cheap webcam that is suggested for use with an open-source AI UFO tracker software. But that was really just to keep me from buying a more expensive computerized telescope until I've researched a bit more. This looks very interesting.
It's genuinely a good product from the time I've spent with it. What was great for me was that I could manage all of the features within the first couple of days use. With clear skies and a sturdy tripod, this is going to capture great imagery. I was the same, thinking this stuff was just out of reach financially. Great to see companies bringing the tech to the mass market and I really hope this helps us level up some of the UAP/UFO pictures and videos we start to see circulating online.
@UAPFilesPodcast, it is probably not waterproof, so not usable as roofmount or outside mount to keep an 24/7 eye on the situation ... but that is exactly the product that is needed ... it doesn't exist ...1st manufacturer that produces something like that will sell 100000 units.
Excellent review. Wasn't expecting the interview at all. They come across as being interested in feedback, which tbh surprised me as being a 3D printing enthusiast, some of the China based manufacturers are remarkably lacking in this respect. Now extremely interested in purchasing one for myself. Thank you.
@@philipgraham1540 appreciate that! Whenever I’ve watched reviews before I’ve always wondered who makes the stuff and what’s their goal or intentions with it. Where’s it going, so thought that would add value to the review. Appreciate your feedback! Happy hunting and please let me know if you capture any interesting footage/pics!
Perfect timing! I just got my Sionyx Aurora Black night vision monocular a couple days ago, and captured a ton of weird stuff up there just the last 2 nights alone. I'm looking to expand my kit further in the next couple months.
Weird. My response was deleted. I'll try again. It connects to smartphones through the Syonix Aurora app. It records at 720p up to 60fps in hdr. It also has image stabilization, and you can increase or decrease brightness to minimize the background noise based on ambient light. I recorded a lot last night without any light except the stars. You won't get 4k hi res but it's fantastic for filming the little orbs moving around up there.
The new Seestar S30 also features an autotracking mode. Would be great if you could do a comparison video of the tracking modes of these two similar devices.
Dwarf3 is certainly a "smart" telescope, even in the affordable smart telescope market. I’ve also been considering which telescope to buy from Seestar, but I’ll likely end up purchasing the upcoming S30. The reason is that in Korea, there are no resellers for Dwarflab products, and purchasing directly costs around $655 after taxes and shipping, even though the product itself is priced at $499. On the other hand, Seestar’s S50 also costs $499, but the actual payment is almost the same at $499. If the lower-priced S30 is even cheaper, this could be disastrous for Dwarf3. Moreover, due to the high shipping and tax costs, there are very few buyers, making it difficult to find Dwarf2 users. As a result, Dwarflab's brand recognition in Korea is very low. As someone who considered putting Dwarf3 on my purchase list, it's quite disappointing.😢😢
How is it possible that you are into UFOs but do not know about the longest running scientific UFO investigation? I am stunned. Look into it, your mind will 🤯
@@UAPFilesPodcasthe may be referring to the Hessdalen project. Chris Lehto has got a fair bit on it on his channel. He's in Finland at the moment studying them. Big ups mate. I'm going to start a channel on this topic, as I've been interested since I was a kid. Probably take a few months knowing me lol😂
Thanks Jimmy for your awesome channel and this valuable review of the Dwarf 3. I've not owned an astrophotography device before and am really attracted to this for my first purchase. There were some technicalities that went a bit fast for me, (not tech savvy) and I'm wondering if you would mind if I ask questions: (1) how do you transfer image and video to your computer? (2) What do you want connectivity to your smart phone for? Is it possible to do all the functional selection on the dwarf 3 directly? (3) What do you need the smartphone or tablet for? (I think you might have said some functionality on the Dwarf 3 needed a smartphone or tablet). Many thanks
@@fredcharmers196 3) the footage is saved on the telescope in its built in memory (over 100G). 2) the telescope doesn’t have a screen, so it has to be connected to a smart phone or tablet via the app mentioned the video. The app allows you to move and direct the telescope left and right and up and down and toggle through settings. Almost like a remote control. 1) to download the footage from the internal memory to your phone you just access the image / video folder via the app, then chose to download and it will download via Bluetooth to your phones photo gallery.
Just stumbled upon this video. I'm not into the UFO thing, however, I do respect people who continue to look for such things. I have the dwarf 2 telescope, and maybe upgrading soon. They're fantastic. Also, have you thought about setting up an all sky camera?
@@mrtransistor6173 thanks. Not heard of this. Where would I find one? Only thing I can find online is a website to share footage online. Is that the one you mean?
@@UAPFilesPodcast Basically, an astro camera, something like one of ZWO's planetary cameras with a super wide angle lens fitted to it, and a raspberry pi computer running an all sky os (they're pretty easy to set up). There lots of tutorials online to build one. If you don't want to build one yourself, Starlight Xpress build dedicated all sky cameras you simply mount on a high point and connect a computer to it. And it will take multiple long exposure images all night long. The software is pretty good too. Only downside is, they're kinda expensive, but they're the easiest to get set up.
@@ErwinGregorio I’ll be using it most days. When I catch something special I’ll be sure to post it here and on IG. Worth checking out Dwarflab’s Instagram for wildlife and aircraft tracking to give you a good idea of a HD example.
@@UAPFilesPodcast yes. th-cam.com/video/WvMymH4QcC0/w-d-xo.html white spheres were seen during the day darting in and out of white clouds, then in the evening they began glowing and heading directly towards central london. this video corresponds to the siting date and was found by chance many years later.
Looks like a class bit of kit price vs quality threshold imho, wonder if the DWARF crew could do a variant for this market preloaded with a decent astronomy map app?
I noticed that there are a lot of Smart Telescopes showing up in the market and on TH-cam recently. Can you live stream with them? For the tripod, just weigh it down with sand bags.
@@So1othurn good tip regarding the sandbags. As far as I understand you can’t livestream directly, though a workaround could be screen mirroring potentially as it connects directly with tablet/smart phone.
Not exactly. It has software to track locations to pick up a specific planet or the moon etc. and tracking built in to find and follow lights in the sky. So a form of AI I suppose. But could exhale call that just tracking software.
It has an AI function to enhance an image after you’re done with shooting a deep sky object, but I keep it off. And for ufo you don’t want it to change the image I guess. My Dwarf 3 has to be delivered yet, so I can’t test it out yet.
I have received my Dwarf 3 3 weeks ago and the weather is awfull. But I have tested the simular feature of the autotrack function. when you select that you can chose between birds or ufo mode. With the birds mode you point your Dwarf to an area where you expect birds to show up. Press start and nothing seems to happen, but the moment a bird comes into view (of the wide lens) the tele lens captures it and starts a recording. I’m hoping for a clear night soon to try the ufo mode.
Appreciate the feedback, but I do love it. It’s that Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee style. Jazz in the background, a chat over a coffee, chilled and smooth. Personal preference of course and I’m always upfront, but I do love it. I’ll certainly take that in to consideration though. Thanks

Awesome. Just took delivery of my Dwarf3 without realising it had a 'UFO' tracking mode. Super excited..
My Dwarf 3 arrives in Jan so cannot wait to try the UFO mode. Esp as I live very near to a Dark Sky location in the UK.
Love the capability of UAP tracking and thanks for the review. Just ordered one.
@@andyh5931 ah cool! Please let me know how you get on and be sure to send over any good captures of UFO/UAP to UAP_Files IG so we can share 😃🙏

What is the fastest FPS this camera has, for slow motion capabilities, Like 120 FPS

How does a telescope know if something is a UFO or not?
Loads of sattellites, meteorites and planes at night etc
it doesn't know any better than the average person what a ufo is, if it's a light or object and moving around the sky, it's going to track it.
