Good tracker for astro beginners and pro. You can shoot for more than 3 minutes. Problems of the first version are improved.

This little wonder works perfectly. I am editing a stack of 12, 57 second exposures, and its just magic. I didn’t even use the laser, I just had the inclination set correctly and put my iphone compass app against the tracker, with true north turned on, and started shooting. (I had lasered polaris earlier so my tripod was at the correct angle). The stars are perfect little dots on my 14mm lens. Happy dance.

Easy to carry, easy to use!

Been shooting Milky Way without a tracker for several years with surprising results but adding the Nomad tracker just boosted my ability to get much better images with much less noise by increasing exposure time and decreasing iso and aperture. Easy to set up and align with Polaris. First time using it I did 3 minute exposures with no star trails just to see how well it would work. Very pleased with performance for the price.

NOMAD is an amazing device. Very precise and this is the most important in this type of device. On top of that, it's very small and incredibly lightweight so you can take it with you on any photography trip or longer family trip. It will fit into the smallest compartment of your backpack. Super. And finally, the bonus of being able to upgrade it with a scope or smartphone mount. For me, it's the perfect gear for night photography. I recommend it to the undecided.

I received my Nomad from MSM within 8 days of ordering. I was a little daunted about putting it altogether, but it was much easier than I thought. Now I just need to have clear skies, with little moon shine, so I can take some practice shots and eventually get wonderful Milky Way photos. Who knows where this will lead me to on my photography journey. Thank you MSM & Alyn Wallace (RIP) who helped me make the decision to buy the Nomad. I have to say Hanna was most helpful, I couldn’t have done it without her assistance.

Used the tracker last week in Spain. Incredibly easy to set-up and align. No trouble at all tracking my Sony A7IV + Sigma 14-24! If you want to see the images, go to my website www.koenvanbarneveld.com

I am extremely impressed with the qualities of the NOMAD star tracer. Very light and portable, with it you can easily shoot single shots and panoramas with precise tracking up to 4 minutes or more. Highly recommend!

Converting from the 1st gen tracker to the Nomad has been a welcomed upgrade.

I’m impressed with how well the Nomad works when polar aligned with the laser and the scope. Polar align takes less than 5 minutes and the results are consistent. Polar alignment at night keeps the sun in frame for 3+ hours during the day, and stars at night are pinpoint with 15-400 mm lenses at 4 minutes. The negatives are that the daytime polar align set up is not accurate enough to keep the sun in frame with a 600 mm lens for more than 20-30 minutes. There are a number of parts that are needed to use the Nomad (motor unit, polar scope, laser, scope/laser adapter. charging unit with USB cord, and wedge). The complete kit comes with a small pouch for the motor unit. I would be ideal if the kit include a carry case for all the parts.
If anyone wants to buy my daytime polar align kit, let me know.
