Telefonhalterung für Polausrichtung -

It is lightweight and very easy to carry. Also has good tracking performance.

Very easy to set up and use..very lightweight so perfect for putting in a ruck sack.

The phone mount is well designed and makes it so much easier to polar align especially if you can see Polaris or lasers re not allowed. Otherwise you have to try and hold the phone against the tracker and move the adjustment knobs with your other hand. That process is difficult and the phone mount makes this easy

Fits nicely on my skyguider pro.

This works well in theory, however iPhone compass accuracy is very much affected by proximity to batteries & electronics which cause the compass to go haywire. This limits its usefulness in what it sets out to achieve, namely use of iPhone compass to determine polar alignment with equipment powered by batteries & with magnetically active electronics. Removing batteries from tracker does little to improve accuracy.

I used to use a laser to align my MSM tracker to polaris but I would often have difficulty because of objects in the way such as trees or houses. With the phone mount, this issue goes away and worked flawlessly with my phone app to get my MSM tracker alignment just right.

What a great product to assist me with my astrophotography, I will be using this on all the night sky photoshoots which I undertake.

Thanks, MSM

The MSM Polar Align device is useless for polar align forthe following reasons
1. The metal in the startracker throws the compass off and leads to incorrect alignment
2.With tightening screws on both sides the elignment is dependent on whic screw you tighten the most
3. In order to polar align the phone must sit at. either a 90 degree or 180 degree to the tracker. With a ball head the phone can be moved in any degree making it difficult to align to 90 or 180 degrees

An interesting idea but needs serious redesign

Bought the Nomad to supplement my existing MSM tracker but it’s great to use - much less complicated than the original and the increased weight limit allows me to use a variety of lenses comfortably-used with both Nikon d850 and the Nikon z8 - no trails when using only the laser to align up to 240 seconds!

I am very pleased with my MSM phone mount for my tracker. It is exactly what I needed in order to make my polar aligning much easier. The mount sets up quickly, is easy to use and is sturdy. Definitely is a handy device to have when using a star tracker.
