"Designed for use with PENTAX digital SLR cameras, the O-GPS2 is a versatile GPS unit that not only gives basic location data, but also offers an array of original features that allow for the effortless tracking and photographing of celestial bodies. In addition to GPS in the US, QZSS in Japan, GLONASS and Galileo can be newly received. Simply by mounting the PENTAX O-GPS2 onto the hotshoe of a compatible PENTAX digital SLR camera*, the user can record the latitude, longitude, altitude, universal time coordinated (UTC) and aspect of shooting locations onto captured images. Image files carrying the location data, can be used to track shooting locations and review location data on a PC. The location data stored on such files also makes it much easier to sort and file recorded images. By coupling the location data with the camera’s SR (Shake Reduction) system, the unit offers a range of unique, advanced applications, including ASTROTRACER, Simple Navigation and Electronic Compass. * Compatible models are the PENTXA K-3 Mark III, KP, K-3, K-5II, K-5IIs, K-5, K-S2, K-S1, K-70, K-50, K-30, K-r, K-01, 645Z, 645D (as of May 2022).

This uses a single AAA battery, which is good for one evening. Can't complain I get my night shots with no problem...

This is a good product, but some details are just frustrating:1. Most problematic is the calibration of the electronic compass. It took me endless attempts until it was successfull. For comparison the builtin compass in Pentax K-1 is a piece of cake.2. Although current GPS location can be displayed, there is no way to store it via the destination manager. I found a good spot in the open to put my tripod&camera. How do I return there the next day? It can be done: write down the location on a piece of paper, and then use a computer to type it into the destination file in the memory card. Why not make in simpler?3. The battery life is quite short, with a fresh new Eneloop battery.I Expect somewaht higher standart from high end camera brands.

Ich habe mir das Pentax O-GPS2 gekauft, da meine Pentax Kp und auch die Pentax K3III kein eingebautes GPS haben, und gerade bei weiten Reisen die GPS Koordinaten durchaus hilfreich sind später bei der Zuordnung der Location.Das Pentax O-GPS2 wird in einem kleinen Pentax typisch silbernen Karton geliefert. Es ist noch eine Anleitung sowie die Garantiekarte mit der Seriennummer mit im Lieferumfang. Eine AAA Batterie ist übrigens nicht dabei. Die wird aber für den Betrieb benötigt. Der Pentax O-GPS2 kann mit Alkaline AAA, Lithium AAA (L92) oder NiMH AAAs betrieben werden.Die Verwendung ist letztlich sehr einfach, OGPS-2 auf den Blitzschuh der Kamera stecken, Batterie rein, Einschalten, und dann warten bis die Satelliten erkannt werden. Dann werden die Koordinaten in den EXIF des Bildes gespeichert! In freier Umgebung ist eine 3D Koordinate nach 2-3 Minuten verfügbar.Ich verwende Eneloop Pro NiMH Akkus mit dem O-GPS2. Die haben die längste mögliche Laufzeit mit einem Akku. Bei einem Foto Tag mit fahren, fotografieren, Pause, fotografieren und zwischen den Locations bewegen, hält der Akku grob einen Tag von ca. 12-16 h. Aber die Laufzeit ist klar vom Usecase abhängig.Wenn die Kamera ausgeschaltet ist, dann versetzt sich das O-GPS2 auch in den Energiesparmodus. Wird die Kamera wieder eingeschaltet, dann schaltet sich das GPS auch wieder an. Aber, nach länger ausgeschalteter Kamera schaltet der GPS Empfänger ab. Da ist es dann nötig den O-GPS2 wieder einzuschalten.Es ist auch möglich mit dem Pentax O-GPS2 den Astrotracer zu nutzen, das ist aber nicht mein Usecase, daher gibt es da keinen Bericht.Fazit:Das Pentax O-GPS2 ist teuer es funktioniert aber sehr gut mit der Kp und der K3III. Daher gebe ich 5 Sterne.

Bought for astrotracer function for a Pentax K70. Wasn't sure what to expect but pleasantly surprised with results after very little work. Assume there is a little more work dialing in settings, so should get better with trial and error. Easier than using a star stracker.

Does what it is meant to do. First if you have a compatible Pentax camera you will know what to do with it.
