Move Shoot Move Z mount review
Slider user's review

Hi Friends,

For months we have been refining a new product designed together with professional landscape astrophotographer, Alyn Wallace (website). Now, we're ready for pre-order.

Below is a quick review of the journey, we hope you enjoy:

On the 14th June 2020, MSM ambassador Alyn Wallace told us that he has an idea for a new star tracker platform to solve the following problems:

The Problem:

- When at latitudes close to the equator it becomes very difficult to use the ball head on top of a star tracker.

-It’s also difficult to do panoramas, regardless of latitude.

The Solution

Adding a “Star Tracker Platform” so that the ball head becomes level. The angle can be adjusted and locked into place and the platform can also be rotated. The platform is a perfect match for the Move Shoot Move rotator but also works with any star tracker..

Later, we researched all the possible alternative solutions, practicing and using, finally came to the first version as below:

1st Version, mainly verifying the mechanism to lock the angled platform and also the rotating base.

 

2nd Version, Enlarged the center rotation section.

3rd version,

- Wrapped the rotating disc to prevent dust entering.

- Changed screw to handle.

4th Version,

Added more space for the bottom handle, so we can operate with gloves.

And Finally, the final 5th Version, with some minor improvements to launch the production.

Below is the performance of the MSM Platform

Work as a tripod head

 Alyn Wallace Z platform

V or Z? Which Should You Buy? 

The V and Z platforms both solve the problem of having your ballhead at an awkward angle when on a star tracker. So what's the difference? 

The V platform is for those who want to save weight. If you're already using a heavy setup you may not have much room to add weight on top of the MSM which has a payload of 3kg.

The Z platform has the added benefit of being able to be used to replace the ball head on a tripod when not using a star tracker at all. You can also use the Z platform as a table-top tripod. So it's an exchange of versatility for a little added weight.

A must have!

I ordered the V-platform to give me more range and flexibility on my setup. I find directly atta hing can to my MsM can be limiting and mounting my camera onto the V-platform solves my problem.

The only thing I can add is that the base knob can be larger, so it'll be easier to turn. (like the one I had on my Z-platform)

Z&V Mount

Superb piece of equipment that takes the strain off the ball head. Locks firmly in place. Recommended.

MSM Z Bracket - first thoughts.

I purchased a Z bracket to use with a tracking mount. I really only needed a V bracket to do that, but I figured the extra functionality of the Z bracket may come in handy some time.

Great product, the hinges are well designed, however I found a small wobble can be induced when used with heavy gear.

To correct for this, I’ve added an adjustable support to the side which can be locked when the desired level is reached.

It’s a simple strap with a slot, and when locked off, creates a triangle and provides support to the upper plate, de-risking the potential for movement when doing long exposures.

Perhaps something to look into with the next version.

Mick.

Regarding v mount claim...

The v mount was not completely folded when fully folded and there was a slight gap.
A slight gap was disturbing the level, and this gap wanted to be improved...
I have filed a claim for this issue with msm.
However, so far no one involved has emailed me regarding this relationship.
What do you think about this issue?

Amazing quality

Very well thought out piece. I use it to hang my camera from a drone and the tension performs flawlessly! Doesn't hurt that it's adds to the visual appeal

MSM Z Plate

Pretty solid and compact to carry around, really game changer. I wish there would be an upgraded version with dual rotation base, and maybe with a slightly wider locking surface, because I sometimes feel pain in my finger when tightening tightly without Allen Key. but overall, very recommended!

Good Product Bad Shipping

The product is fine. It's good quality, as I expected. I paid extra for fast shipping, which took approximately a month to receive.

Great V plate.

I’m using the V plate and it makes my setup so much easier. Alyn & MSM really has thought about it quite a bit. I do wish the knobs are bigger, but that’s because I have big hands.
