    The adjustment knob of the panning base extends slightly below the base, so it may not be compatible with tripods that have a large, flat mounting surface, as the knob could come into contact with the tripod.

    Description of Wedge

    The MSM Wedge is designed for precise polar alignment, similar to a ballhead but with finer adjustment capabilities. It features four knobs and one handle, for multi-directional adjustments, allowing you to set your tracker or camera at various angles. On top of the Quick-Release Plate has a standard 1/4"-20 threaded screw so that you can attach anything with a 1/4"-20 threaded screw upon it.

    How to set up NOMAD with MSM wedge:

    How to use it?

    • Knob A Lock or Unlock the Quick-Release Plate on the top 

    • Knob B & Handle:

      • Knob B controls the altitude adjustment.

      • The handle locks and unlocks the altitude adjustment when turned in the direction of Knob B or the opposite direction, respectively. Simply pull the handle out to adjust its direction and this action will not affect the locked or unlocked status.

    • Knob C & Knob D adjust the azimuth for precise left and right movements in tiny increments.

    • Knob E  Factory screw for base connection only, no user function

    Wedge + Panning Base. Why this combo?

    • The panning base lets you rotate your gear freely in any direction without moving the tripod—perfect for quick setup, especially in unfamiliar locations.
    • The wedge provides fine-tuned, precise adjustments, making polar alignment smoother and more accurate.
    • Together, they simplify both coarse and fine alignment, saving you time and effort in the field.
