How to use MSM Wedge


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

  • Knob B & Handle:

    • Knob B controls the altitude adjustment.

    • Handle Turn the handle toward Knob B to tighten and stabilize the altitude adjustment mechanism. In this state, the Wedge remains firmly supported while Knob B can still be used for fine altitude adjustment.

      Turn the handle in the opposite direction to loosen the mechanism for broader adjustment.

      The handle can also be pulled outward to reposition its operating angle for easier use. Repositioning the handle will not affect the current tightened or loosened 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.

⚠️ Compatibility note:

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.
