Easy to use star tracker (Newest 2-in-1) - 2022 Milky Way Season is coming!
Exactly what I need, a small, lightweight tracker which can be aligned to polaris in no time. Perfect for landscape astrophotography.
I've only had the chance to use the MSM tracker once but it was mostly for a motion Timelapse. It did great! Installed the MSM tracker onto my tripod then attached my ball head on it. Placed my camera and started my Timelapse. It was very easy to use and I'm looking forward to using it more as a motion Timelapse rotator. Maybe learn how to track the Milky Way one of these days.
Compré el MSM hace unas semanas, y aunque solo lo haya podido probar en 1 o 2 ocasiones, estoy muy contento con los resultados !

I bought the MSM a few weeks ago, and although I have only been able to try it 1 or 2 times, I am very happy with the results!
I got the MSM rotator back in May but didnt get a chance to try it till now. On my first outing with MSM rotator, I tried to photograph M31(Andromeda) and I was able to track the galaxy for 45 seconds on a 300mm lens!, took multiple shots and able to stack for a nice picture of Andromeda. And I only used the laser for polar alignment. MSM rotator works well even for deep sky photography if the camera+lens is light enough and well polar aligned. I got awesome pics of milky way on my second outing with 2+ minutes exposures on focal lengths upto 50 mm and I was able to track andromeda again for 45 seconds. MSM rotator is so compact when comparing other full size trackers. I can put it in my camera backpack all the time. This to me is a great investment and I am happy I made the purchase.
No he tenido mucha oportunidad de probarlo debido a la temporada de lluvias en mi zona, pero las veces que lo he usado han resultado muy buenas fotos
The MSM tracker is a small and compact star tracker which is easy to set up for wide angle shots. For longer lenses I'm planning to get the wedge as well.
Also the support is really great! I first received a faulty unit which was replaced very fast. Thanks a lot!

MSM is a fantastic “pocket” astro-tracker.
Despite its size it has a good load capacity which allowed me to use a 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens after careful alignment.
It is a truly effective, reliable and light product for transport on any occasion.
I chose the Basic Kit configuration (Rotator + Pointer) which fits in my camera bag.
I recommend it to those interested in astronomical photos, in particular the Milky Way and star fields but I would not exclude galaxies too.
The Move Shoot Move start tracker is a truly wonderful device. It packs the power of far larger devices into such a small package that I can carry it anywhere. I wouldn’t want to miss it and look forward to spending more time with it. It is fun!

It makes the calibration easy

Well manufactured and engineered. One improvement suggestion is to make it Acra Swiss mountable in stead of a screw.

All remarks from ambassadors and other users in my opinion are true.
1. Easy installation and polar alignment.
2. Easy to use.
2. Compact and light for transportation.
3. After 3 months use seems good and quality construction.
Also the Z/V plate is very useful even if you have a second ball head. It helps change the center of gravity and keeps more stable your gear on the field .
Very happy for my purchase for light landscape astrophotography. For my needs is what I want.
Its a good concept to use the iphone to polar align using photo pills spot stars AR on the star adventurer. I tried the phone clamp, but the clamp doesn't fully tighten on the star adventurer plastic battery compartment top since the top is partially curved. I feel like this clamp is going to break if I overtighten it. It keeps coming loose and my phone falls towards me as the mount points towards the sky since I can never fully tighten it enough.

The laser installation is a breeze, and speeds up time for me to get close alignment without having to bend my neck all of the time and deal with keeping the finder scope in alignment all of the time. After initial alignment, I use the Polefinder instrument connected to my laptop to attain precise alignment for astrophotography.
