Difference between MOVE SHOOT MOVE NOMAD and MSM Rotator:

  1. Improved attachment points. The previous manufacturing tolerances were fine for Astro-landscape but deep-sky needs a firmer foundation.

    1. The MSM Rotator, due to its design, required specific weight positioning to keep the ball head secure; this has been completely eliminated.  

    2. The laser now screws into the tracker eliminating any chance of wobble.  

    3. The industry standard quick-release plate on the bottom is secured in 2 places preventing any twisting of the tracker on its mount.  

  2. Improved load capacity.  

    1. The hardware has been built to withstand twice the amount of torque as the MSM Rotator. 

    2. Where the MSM Rotator was only designed for wide-angle Astro-landscape, the MOVE SHOOT MOVE NOMAD has been designed with wide-field deep-sky use in mind.  

    3. Availability of an optional counterweight system for more experienced users to go even deeper.

  3. Simplified operation.  By designing and building a device with a narrower focus we were able to make it better while keeping the size down.

    1. One 3-position switch; Northern hemisphere, Southern, or Off.  

    2. In order to improve on our goals of ease of use and portability, the non-tracker function of the MSM Rotator has been left off, greatly simplifying the operation of the new tracker.  

    3. The MOVE SHOOT MOVE NOMAD is focused on one function, star tracking.   (MOVE SHOOT MOVE NOMAD can be used to take timelapse of the night sky, but it does not have the so called Move Shoot Move timelapse mode of the previous Rotator) 

  4. Reduced size and weight.  A foremost feature of our trackers is portability. 

    1. Our users take our trackers with them even when backpacking to some of the most remote areas of the world. 

    2. We worked to make storing and transporting the tracker even easier so you'll always want to have it with you when traveling.

    3. The tracker is called MOVE SHOOT MOVE NOMAD for a reason; it is designed to travel with you wherever you go.

Excellent Tracker & Customer Service

I recently purchased the Move Shoot Move Nomad tracker and I’m very happy with the results so far. Setup was straightforward, and it’s been a fantastic tool for capturing sharp, detailed night sky shots. The build quality feels solid, and it’s compact enough to carry easily for trips and hikes.

A special mention to Hanna from customer service – I dealt with her via email and she was always extremely helpful, quick to respond, and made the whole process smooth and hassle-free. It’s great to see a company that stands behind their product and looks after their customers so well.

Highly recommend the Nomad tracker for anyone getting into astrophotography.

Testing the MSM Nomad star guider

My first tests show that the Nomad star guider works very well. No trailing at 60 sec up to 250mm. The guider is very handsom and light. So it is my companion on future trips.

MSM Nomad

The MSM Nomad is definitely a great and very portable star tracker for shooting astro landscapes. The customer service at MSM is excellent. They are very quick to communicate with you and help with your order or product information.

first light

Easy to set up with the laser to polar align. My sky was limited due to trees and smoke from Canada wildfires. Tracker worked as advertised. Will try again on a clearer night.

Accurate tracking

Well, after boing disapointed with the first one anf vowing never to purchase a MSM device again...I borrowed a Nomad in April and can honestly say that its a vast improvement over the original.

The laster pointer I got sent still had issues even tho I tried to calibrate it but I was sent out another one within a couple of weeks.

You don't need a polar scope, the laser is accurate enough.

In addition to the ball head I'd recommend the wedge and a V plate. That's reallt all you need.

A couple of improments could include having the arca plate mountable in both directions and possibly including a larger gap on the arca bracket at the bottom for anyone using a Gitzo...if you use Gitzo and arca plates not designed for Gitzo then you know the frustration.

Otherwise a nicer product than the original.

Muy conforme

Me encantó mi compra. Excelente comunicación con la tienda.
Las estrellas son puntuales.
Como en el hemisferio sur no tenemos la suerte de tener una estrella polar sería muy bueno que vendan un adaptador para el Polemaster o algún otro buscador electrónico.

Easy to learn, easier to use

Very reliable and works as advertised.
