In accordance with §11 PAngV (German ordinance regulating the indication of Prices), the last offer price shows the lowest price of the last 30 days after all usual direct discount deductions.

Designed for use with PENTAX digital SLR cameras, this versatile GPS module not only writes location data to shooting data, but also provides functions that enable effortless tracking and photographing of celestial bodies.
The PENTAX O-GPS2 was developed as a successor to the "O-GPS1" (released in June 2011)
In addition to the GPS signal, the signals from, QZSS, GLONASS and Galileo can now be received. By simply attaching the PENTAX O-GPS2 to the hot shoe of a PENTAX digital SLR camera*, the user can store the latitude, longitude, altitude, coordinated universal time (UTC) and shooting direction on the captured images. The location data image files can be used to track the path of the shooting locations and use the location data on a computer.
The stored location data also facilitates archiving and management of the captured images.
By coupling the O-G-GPS2 with the camera's SR (Shake Reduction) system, a number of unique and advanced applications are available, including ASTROTRACER, easy navigation and electronic com-pass.
* Compatible models include the PENTAX 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). Not all applications of all models are supported.
O-GPS-2 in detail:
1.
GPS function for recording shooting location data
The O-GPS2 attaches to the hot shoe of a compatible camera and records latitude, longitude, altitude, coordinated universal time (UTC) and shooting direction in the shooting data. In addition to the GPS signal, signals from, QZSS, GLONASS and Galileo can now be received
2.
ASTROTRACER for effortless astronomical photography
When mounted on the body of the appropriate PENTAX digital SLR camera (see compatibility list), the O-GPS2 also features the advanced ASTROTRACER function, which couples the device with the camera's SR (Shake Reduction) system to sharply photograph celestial bodies. The device calculates the motion of stars, planets and other celestial bodies based on latitude obtained from location data and the camera's alignment data (horizontal and vertical tilt and shooting direction) obtained from magnetic and acceleration sensors, and then shifts the camera's image sensor in sync with the objects' motion. Stars and other celestial bodies are thus recorded as fixed points and not as blurred streaks, even at longer exposure times.
Since only a tripod is required and no additional accessories such as a special telescope are needed, this makes astronomical photography much easier.
In combination with the PENTAX K-3 Mark III there are two different exposure functions. In addition to the shift parallel to the star shift, there is the half-speed function to achieve a balanced exposure of landscape and stars.
3.
Simple navigation according to stored location data to a destination
The O-GPS2 provides a simple navigation function that can calculate the direction and distance to a specific destination from the current position. This can be done either by using information stored with the image data, or by using target data created with a computer and transferred to the camera.
4.
Electronic Compass Function for Displaying and Recording Direction
The O-GPS2 is equipped with an electronic compass function that accurately displays the direction in relation to true north on the LCD monitor based on the earth's magnetism detected by the magnetic sensor and the location data.
Recording direction data can be stored on the captured images.
5.
Other Features
Simplified, weatherproof design for use in light rain.
Independent power source (one AAA battery), so no power supply is required from the camera body.
