Difference between MOVE SHOOT MOVE NOMAD and MSM Rotator:
-
Improved attachment points. The previous manufacturing tolerances were fine for Astro-landscape but deep-sky needs a firmer foundation.
-
The MSM Rotator, due to its design, required specific weight positioning to keep the ball head secure; this has been completely eliminated.
-
The laser now screws into the tracker eliminating any chance of wobble.
-
The industry standard quick-release plate on the bottom is secured in 2 places preventing any twisting of the tracker on its mount.
-
Improved load capacity.
-
The hardware has been built to withstand twice the amount of torque as the MSM Rotator.
-
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.
-
Availability of an optional counterweight system for more experienced users to go even deeper.
-
Simplified operation. By designing and building a device with a narrower focus we were able to make it better while keeping the size down.
-
One 3-position switch; Northern hemisphere, Southern, or Off.
-
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.
-
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)
-
Reduced size and weight. A foremost feature of our trackers is portability.
-
Our users take our trackers with them even when backpacking to some of the most remote areas of the world.
-
We worked to make storing and transporting the tracker even easier so you'll always want to have it with you when traveling.
-
The tracker is called MOVE SHOOT MOVE NOMAD for a reason; it is designed to travel with you wherever you go.

Customer Reviews
I initially began star tracking with the MSM tracker, but I have since upgraded to the Nomad. The transition to the Nomad represents a significant leap forward. The compact size and reduced weight are major improvements, particularly for someone like me who travels frequently. The ease of use and functionality are truly impressive. I highly recommend the Nomad to anyone who is serious about star tracking.
This is my first tracker. So I'm assuming that any defects are user defects, not gear defects. I have used the NOMAD four times.
Two of them were very successful. I took a picture of Andromeda. Tracking over 80 and 60 minutes.
Two of them, were a total flop. The first time, I tried to understand how it all worked. The second time (although it was the third time), I could not get an accurate polar alignment. I noticed that the difference between the direction determined by the laser and by the polar scope was significant. Depending on how you screw it in, how precisely you place it in the hole.... Everything matters though. That's why (before the next time) in the daytime I set the polar scope so that the laser points in the center of its dial. I had to use a bit of tape to do this, because the slack on the mount is significant and if you misplace the polar scope, it can point in any direction (within a few degrees). I don't know if this is how I should set the polar scope, but only then, after an hour of tracking, the polar star was where it should be (regarding the information from the app at the beginning and end of this period). So the tracker is working correctly.
I am using not very heavy equipment. About 1.8 kg in total. Focal length 200 mm. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to increase the focal length for times of about a minute of exposure. At 200 mm 1 minute works ok, but I will keep trying. Only dark skies I need.

I'm relatively new to astrophotography, and after doing a bit of research I decided to invest in the MSM Nomad. I have not had any previous star tracker, but my first impressions were - compared to a friend's kit - that the unit was very portable and easy to set up. So far I have used it twice. The first time was a bit of a disaster as I rushed out to use it on the first clear night, without reading any instructions about where to point it, etc. So not a fair trial. Second time was MUCH better - I understood now how to align with Polaris, etc - and the results were very very good. I think I will need more time to get used to it properly and to find the best set of settings to use it with - I am not used to being able to shoot for 2+ minutes without star trails, and so picking the best ISO, etc needs a bit of work. But it's easy to set up, amazingly portable, and I'm looking forward to getting to know it a lot better. Last point, I almost forgot, it's great value. I'm sure more expensive devices have - possibly - more advanced features, BUT in terms for value for money I can't imagine better than the MSM Nomad.
A nice, sturdy metal casing. Unfortunately, I don't have the right thread size, so I'll have to improvise a bit, and maybe specify what you need in the documentation. I live in Germany, where laser pointers are only allowed up to 1mW, yours has 5mW, maybe you can specify a different one.
It's so portable, very easy to setup and wow the results are awesome. Pin sharp milky way stars in a 2 minute exposure. This has simplified my editing which was the biggest surprise for me. I highly recommend the MSM Nomad.
It‘s easy too handle I would by it again.
