    Description

    The MSM Wedge is designed for precise polar alignment, similar to a ballhead but with finer adjustment capabilities. It features four knobs and one handle, for multi-directional adjustments, allowing you to set your tracker or camera at various angles. On top of the Quick-Release Plate has a standard 1/4"-20 threaded screw so that you can attach anything with a 1/4"-20 threaded screw upon it.

    How to set up NOMAD with MSM wedge:

    How to use it?

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

    • Knob B & Handle:

      • Knob B controls the altitude adjustment.

      • The handle locks and unlocks the altitude adjustment when turned in the direction of Knob B or the opposite direction, respectively. Simply pull the handle out to adjust its direction and this action will not affect the locked or unlocked 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.

    MSM Wedge for polar alignment

    After years of using heavy geared heads for astrophotography I decided to try the MSM wedge, both for its lighter weight but also for improved accuracy when polar aligning.

    I've been absolutely blown away by this product. It's really well engineered in aluminium alloy and the quality of the product is clear to see. At just over 300 grams the wedge has more than met my expectations in reducing the weight of my setup.

    All in all, a fantastic great value for money piece of kit.

    La atención al cliente fue muy buena, la atención de Hanna, perfecta, en todo momento me facilitó la resolución de un error que hubo con el stock, y a pesar de la diferencia horaria que hay respecto a España, siempre recibí mi respuesta, en cuanto al tracker, todo perfecto, con un buen alineado, se consiguen resultados increíbles, ninguna holgura, la capacidad de peso cumple, probado con un 70-200 f2.8 y va perfecto, estamos encantados, pedimos 2, con el kit del laser, Muchas gracias!!

    Wedge / Panorama plate review

    Price wise the Wedge from move shoot move is great and every easy to use.
    m
    With the wedge i bought the panorama plate, so to be able to rotate more easily. what i noticed there , as i have a tripod from GITZO with bigger base plate, that the screw from the panorama plate is sitting the way! So this plate should be higher so that the screw is not sitting in the way - pity. In the field using this I noticed this and give me some trouble to fix the whole setup properly . Not ideal.

    also for the panorama plate, the arca plate base should be removable

    Design problem

    I am using it with my SeeStar S50 and Dwarf3, living in HK at latitude of 22.5 degree

    There is one "little" problem, the MSM rotator combo and the wedge, can't point to a direction 22.5 degree from horizon!

    The Must-Have Companion for Every Nomad Owner

    The MSM Wedge is the perfect companion for the Nomad. It lets me align the mount precisely and take long exposures without star trails. Super stable, easy to adjust, and compact, it makes my astrophotography sessions much smoother and more accurate. If you want to get the most out of your Nomad, this adapter is a definite yes

    Works great

    This is my first tracker and I’m using it with a mirrorless camera perfectly.

    Excelente servicio, excelente producto

    La cuña para alinear es una maravilla. Con un gran detalle puedes colocar el objetivo en el punto exacto que deseas. Con las rótulas de bola yo me volvía loca y costaba mas estabilizar. Una gran compra y no me ha parecido nada cara para lo que es! El servicio post-venta fue excelente y muy amables (quería dos y solo pedi una y me dejaron pedir la segunda sin gastos de envío)
