The ZWO ASIAIR Plus: Now Faster, Lighter, and More Portable than Ever Before
This version of the ZWO ASIAIR Plus has 8x larger eMMC storage! Compared to the original ASIAIR Plus, this version goes from 32GB to 256GB. The ZWO ASIAIR Plus is an all-in-one control solution that will make your imaging sessions a breeze! The ASIAIR Camera Controller technology allows you to control your camera, mount, ZWO EAF and other compatible equipment from your smartphone or tablet. You just need to download the ASIAIR app and the enhanced ASIAIR Plus antenna will provide a strong WiFi signal and fast communication. Not only this, but this ASIAIR Plus is the slimmest and lightest of all of the previous models, making it incredibly portable.
What sets the ASIAIR Plus 256G apart from the rest? The massive amount of storage space to capture your images and videos. With 256 GB of internal eMMC storage (244 GB available), even the most trigger-happy or long-exposure astrophotographers won’t have to worry about storage limitations. With this also comes faster data transmission speeds: ZWO claims a 26% improvement of short exposure imaging efficiency, as well of a 30% increase in FPS when capturing video! In addition, read speeds average 120+ MB/s, with write speeds averaging a healthy 95 MB/s.

A great tool for both beginning and experienced astroimagers, the ASIAIR Plus controller will simplify sessions and save precious imaging time by eliminating the need to research, download, configure, and integrate different programs together.
Compact Size
The body of the ASIAIR Plus is smaller and lighter than its predecessors. It is 24% thinner and 13% lighter than the ASIAIR Pro. Made from CNC machined aluminum, the casing protects the technology from dust and dew accumulation. With laser carving technology, the top of the ASIAIR Plus showcases a design that incorporates the constellations Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor. You will find several status displays on the body of the ASIAIR Plus: an Input Power Status Display (PWR), a Wireless Network Status Display (WiFi), and a System I/O Status Display (SYS). The dimensions of the body are 102.5 mm x 70 mm x 26.5 mm.
Good Connectivity Options
ZWO has also added indicators for the four DC-12V outputs to the body ASIAIR Plus. These indicators, along with a function in the ASIAIR app, allow you to check the power status easily and monitor it in real-time. The ZWO ASIAIR Plus has two USB2.0 ports and two USB3.0 ports to allow you to connect your ASIAIR device to your camera, mount, ZWO EAF, and more. Additional ports include a gigabit Ethernet port and a DSLR Shutter Release cable receptacle. The Type-C USB port allows for connection to a laptop for exporting files from internal storage. When it is time to set up and break down, all you need to do is slide your setup into the saddle. No more routing cables and worrying about snags! For those looking to streamline their system even further, ZWO introduced Bluetooth functionality to the 2024 Plus with version 2.2 of their stellar ASIAIR App. This allows a compatible mount such as the ZWO AM5N or AM3 Harmonic Drive Equatorial Mounts to be controlled wirelessly, cutting one more cable out of the equation!
Simple and User-Friendly Remote Control
The ASIAIR Plus has a built-in WiFi antenna. When compared to earlier versions of the ASIAIR, the Plus version’s antenna has an increased signal, making the connection between your device and the ASIAIR Plus more stable. This also enables the signal range to be wider. With the inclusion of the antenna, you will ultimately see a stronger WiFi signal and faster communication. This small device can totally replace your computer or a mount hand controller. With wireless technology, you can even control your astrophotography gear from inside! The dual-band, enhanced WiFi antenna can receive and transmit at 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, with a working range of up to 20 meters (~65 feet), allowing for remote operation. All the software and hardware for the ASIAIR Plus WiFi Controller are brought together with an easy-to-use interface that you can access on your phone or tablet. With this feature, your computer no longer has to do double duty and you won’t have to figure out how to manage remote software. Once powered on the ASIAIR Plus automatically broadcasts a WiFi signal, so just download the app, connect, and you’re ready to start imaging!
New & Improved App Interface
With 2.2 version of the mobile app for the ASIAIR, ZWO further increased the value and functionality of your unit. Improvements include support for additional cameras, improved user experience for iPad users, better optimized features, and fixes several known bugs. It also allows you to monitor the working status of the ASIAIR Plus, displaying the voltage, WiFI network, power consumption, and real-time temperature. It is available for download from the Apple Store or Google Play.
Recovery Mode and eMMC
ZWO has included a Recovery Mode where the system will detect faults and recover itself if the ASIAIR Plus cannot boot up. So, get ready for a smooth and stable experience with the ASIAIR Plus! Additionally, this version of the ASIAIR has been redesigned with larger eMMC storage; the massive 256GB capacity provides 244GB of free space to store images and videos. This is significantly more than the original ASIAIR Plus and with this eMMC, the ASIAIR Plus has an I/O speed of up to 2.5x faster than the ASIAIR Pro.
Power Requirements
ZWO recommends that the ASIAIR Plus have an 11V-15V @ 2A-5A power supply. If the power supply is lower than 9V or higher than 15V, the ASIAIR Plus cannot be turned on as a safety precaution.
