NOMAD Smartphone Astro Kit🙌

Just tried in the field and as a newbie with a star tracker it worked perfectly. Very nice results and sharp stars with eyposures up to 3 minutes.

I had an older tracker, one with a 5lb counterweight and a clunky polar alignment process. Have you ever put that in your pack and climbed a mountain? I knew it was time for a change, and I bought the Move-Shoot-Move tracker. So far, I'm very happy with the size and the ease of polar alignment. It fits in my hiking pack easily and I'm not hesitant to take it on an outing. I get great results and have done 2 minute exposures with no star trailing, I intend to get much more use out of this in the near future!

I highly raccomand Nomad tracker for its easy way to se amd to understand how to use it.
I love polaris scope even if also laser is enough for aligning.
So good for advanced and beginners users

Il nomad da’ sicuramente molta soddisfazione fa il suo lavoro egregiamente! Ottimo acquisto

I am so impressed with this device. I am an accomplished old school photographer and have been reluctant to try a star tracker. I have used the one image and the blending method of Milky Way photography, but this device is a game changer. It sets up with ease and alignment is a breeze. Thank you this old lady loves the product.

It’s very easy to setup & use right from the start. I have used it several times now and don’t want to miss it anymore.

I received the Beginner starter kit and have used it twice now. Very impressed with build quality and how fast and easy it is to align. Second time was in pitch black skies in Grand Teton National Park, and I literally aligned it in 10 seconds. Will enjoy using it more this summer during Milky Way Season

Tres facile a mettre en œuvre. Premières photos de la voie lactée réussies immédiatement. Suis tres satisfait de mon achat.

The most significant upgrade from rotator is its pure power. Despite being incredibly compact (easily sliding into a jacket pocket), it boasts a payload capacity of up to 3.5 kg. This means it can confidently handle not just a mirrorless camera with a wide-angle lens, but also heavier setups like a Sony A7 V paired with a 70-200mm lens or a small dedicated refractor.
True to the MSM philosophy, the Nomad is built for speed. If you are a tracker who values getting your shot before the clouds roll in, the Nomad is a joy. The interface is dead simple, and the polar alignment process—especially if you use the laser pointer or the upgraded polar scope—is fast and straightforward.

Thanks to improved internal gearing and a higher-torque motor, the Nomad offers significantly better tracking stability than its predecessor. Periodic error is minimized, allowing for longer exposures (often 2–3 minutes depending on focal length) without trailing, making minor moon or focal-heavy tracking much more reliable.

It remains an exceptional tool for both astrophotography tracking and panoramic/time-lapse photography. The ability to switch modes easily makes it a permanent resident in a gear bag, even for daytime landscape shooters.

While the Nomad itself is a powerhouse, its performance is heavily dependent on the quality of your equatorial wedge. If you try to use it with a standard ball head for polar alignment, it can be a frustrating experience. To truly unlock the 3.5 kg payload capacity without flexure, investing in a high-quality, rigid wedge is mandatory, adding to the overall cost and bulk.

When pointing at high celestial latitudes, checking alignment through the optical scope can require some serious gymnastics. While the laser gets you close instantly, a right-angle finder or a more ergonomic scope mounting solution would be a massive quality-of-life upgrade for precise deep-sky work.

The Move Shoot Move Nomad is arguably the best **ultra-portable** star tracker on the market. It successfully bridges the gap between the ultra-light wide-field rotators and the heavy, cumbersome equatorial mounts. If you want to shoot the Milky Way, track the moon, or dabble in tracking longer focal lengths without breaking your back on a hike, the Nomad is an absolute triumph—just ensure you pair it with a solid wedge to get the best results.

Love the ease of polar alignment. Shipping was fast and customer service was excellent.

The Move Shoot Move Nomad is an excellent portable star tracker. It's lightweight, easy to use, and provides reliable tracking for wide-field astrophotography.

Went to La Palma / Canaries last month. Amazing milky way and amazing shots with MSM Nomad. Canon R7 (APS-C sensor) with 85mm mounted on MSM, polar alignment simply done with iPhone App and easily targeted on Antares/Rho Ophiuchi wirh ball head. Flawless sharp stars @60 sec, on each and every frame!

I just got back from a 4-day backpacking trip where I used the MSM, and I captured some amazing photos!
I have always wanted to use a tracker on these types of trips, but weight is usually a major issue. With the MSM, the simple, light, and compact design is truly a game changer! I absolutely love it!

so amazing a motor this size and inexpensive will track my camera with the exact rotation of planet earth. pleased with the results

Sehr schnelle Lieferung und bin sehr zufrieden habe es erst einmal benutzt da kein Neumond und leider Wolken

I took the Nomad out for the first time last week. I was absolutely amazed at the results on my first try. I suggest watching some Youtube videos on setup and techniques first.

Ottimo dispositivo, come la possibilità di comporre il proprio setup avendo accesso a molti accessori, di ottima fattura ed a prezzi competitivi. Nel mio caso, sarebbe utile un filtro che esclude gli accessori non compatibili con quello che si ha già.
Io uso da tempo nomad con l'allineatore ottico (cannocchiale) e laser. Volevo l'accessorio per allineare tramite cell, per poter usare nomad anche da punti di vista che non permettono di vedere direttamente la stella polare (quindi non si può usare ne laser ne cannocchiale). Cercando di capire quale delle due versioni conviene a me, ho scoperto (se non ho capito male) che esiste più d'un modello di allineatore ottico, e non sono più sicuro se andrebbe bene col mio.
In questo caso, un filtro del sito, che esclude gli articoli non agganciabili a quello che ho già (il sito può sapere cosa ho, dallo storico ordini, o dal profilo compilato dall'utente) sarebbe molto d'aiuto .

I love this little star tracker!!! I got to use it for the first time last night and I was amazed at how well it worked. I even had it go 8 minutes and still no star trails!!! I also love how small and portable it is making it easy to travel with. It’s an awesome upgrade to my Astro photography and I’m so glad I got it. It was worth every penny!

Just starting with night sky photography. I was able to get my Nomad up and running with some decent shots. If you like clarity in your images pick up the Nomad you will not be disappointed.
