Personnalisez votre kit NOMAD : Conçu par vous, pour vous✅

I even love the haptics and the compact size. With the laser it worked right away and it is not complicated to use in the dark. First try, perfect outcome! So happy that I found this!

The NOMAD is a stunning rotator, you can do both panoramic shots and also some deep sky object, but this is hard to do since longer focal length require a precise polar alignment, I was able to get a nice photo of the pleiades with a focal length of 200 mm on apsc (320 mm FF equivalent), and for around 250 euros is a must have without spending lots of money to get an heavier mount

I purchased the MSM Nomad a few months ago to continue my astro photography journey. I've taken it out into the field six or seven times so far to shoot the Milky Way. So far so good. It is lightweight and relatively easy to use. Configuring the right mount setup for what you plan on doing is about the only thing that takes time. Polar alignment can be a bit tricky for those that are newer to star tracking, but the learning curve is short. It's a very well design product that makes it easy for someone to start their astronomical photography journey.

After doing lots of research I decided to pick up this star tracker from the website a few weeks ago. So far, been out shooting with the tracker for 3 sessions, first and second time doing some milky way photos, the third time was able to use it during the Orionids Meteor shower. The results have impressed me, I personally own the Tamron 35mm and the Sony FE 70-200 GM ii, was able to comfortably track up to 2min if I had accurate allignment, and have been doing some 90 sec tracks on 70mm with my 70-200 and my Sony A7 iii, been handling well. I will be going on a 5 week road trip across the entire NZ later this year in December an throughout January, I'm going to try and push this tracker to its limit with my 70-200. taking some deep sky nebula shots for Focal blend composites.

Had it for a few weeks. Nice solid stuff of good quality (metal). Already made a few great shots of the Milky Way, with very accurate tracking. The laser alignment works well.

Having recently ventured into astrophotography as a total newbie I decided to purchase the Nomad moveshootmove tracker.
I can only say that I am mighty impressed with it having used it a couple of times now. It is so easy and quick to set up on location and using the laser pointer is a doddle. My 1st few images have come out really sharp at 1min exposures.
I highly recommend this product.

I'm a beginner amateur photographer, and the Nomad has really made it easier for me to take much better photos of the sky. I definitely recommend it, even to beginners

I've been looking for portable star tracker for quite some time now. And this August I finally made a decision to buy one. I'm still getting used to it, but first images are tack sharp at 150 seconds with 14-24 f2.8 lens. Very impressed so far.

I compared tracked vs non-tracked exposures and the difference is massive. Being able to shoot at lower ISO with clean blacks, pinpoint stars, and rich detail in the Milky Way makes the NOMAD tracker an essential tool for nightscapes.

Very compact, well-built and surprisingly capable tracker. I’m getting reliable results even at 135mm and have successfully tested 250mm as well. The wedge works especially well for precise polar alignment.
My only real criticism is the polar scope holder. It has too much play and can shift the polar scope when tightened, which makes precise and repeatable alignment unnecessarily difficult. A more rigid holder would make an already excellent little tracker even better.

I am very new to astrophotography so wanted something simple and easy to use. I was a bit hesitant in buying the Nomad at first, as thought would it actually work?? It does!! It small and lightweight and simple to set up. I've only used it a couple of times so far. The first time I was a bit unsure about how to set it up properly, but the videos on the website are a great help to walk you through it (better than the instructions that come with it tbh). Once your out in the field, its pretty straight forward. I look forward to using it more and hopefully getting some great photos.
Thank you!

I used the device for the first time during the solar eclipse. It worked wonderfully—no manual tracking required. The sun was always centered in the frame. I'm already looking forward to my next photos of the Milky Way.

I tested the MSM Nomad with my Sony a6400 and Samyang 135mm f/1.8 for astrophotography.

The Nomad is very compact and lightweight, which makes it easy to transport and quick to set up. For shorter focal lengths, I think it is a very practical solution.

I also tested it with the 135mm lens. At this focal length, the setup becomes more demanding and requires a very accurate polar alignment as well as a solid tripod. With careful setup, however, I was able to achieve good results.

What I particularly like about the MSM Nomad is its compact design and straightforward handling. For mobile astrophotography and moderate focal lengths, it is a very interesting and capable tracker.

For significantly longer focal lengths or heavier camera and lens combinations, I would personally recommend using a larger mount.

Lightweight and easy to operate. Worth the price!

Move Shoot Move NOMAD — My Field Review 🌌

When you spend as much time as I do photographing the night sky in the mountains of North Wales, you quickly learn that size, weight and simplicity matter.

That’s one of the reasons I’ve been so impressed with the new Move Shoot Move NOMAD Star Tracker.

Having used the previous generation, I was really interested to see how the NOMAD would fit into my astrophotography workflow — and for me, the improvements have made a noticeable difference.

The biggest thing is its compact size.

When I’m heading into Snowdonia with a camera, lenses, tripod, clothing and everything else I need for a night in the mountains, I don’t want to be carrying a large equatorial mount. The NOMAD takes up very little space in my bag, meaning I can have tracking capability with me without compromising the rest of my kit.

And then there’s the setup.

Working in the dark, often on wet, uneven ground and sometimes in rapidly changing weather, I want equipment that gets out of the bag and into operation quickly. The NOMAD has become a really natural part of my workflow.

The improvements over the previous model make that process feel much more refined. I spend less time thinking about the tracker and more time thinking about composition, focus, exposure and the light in front of me.

That’s exactly what I want from astrophotography equipment.

For my style of photography — combining dramatic North Wales landscapes with the Milky Way, zodiacal light and the wider night sky — the NOMAD hits a fantastic balance between portability and performance.

It isn’t a replacement for a large equatorial mount, and it doesn’t need to be.

Its strength is being able to throw it in the camera bag, hike into the mountains and have tracking available when I need it.

For me, that’s the biggest compliment I can give it:

It makes astrophotography easier without getting in the way of the photography.

Small. Portable. Fast to deploy. And a significant step forward from the previous generation.

🌌 The NOMAD has earned its place in my bag

I bought two Nomad to replace my star trackers, take only a minute to set up and can bring any were, great for track and pan.

Ordered on a recommendation from someone. Not sure what I was ordering but the tracker arrived with the laser pointer, along with the instructions and a little help from YT videos we were up and running. A great addition to my kit, I’d highly recommend it to other budding astrophotographers

I have a reasonable amount of experience with photography but I only started this year to look up at the darkness. The NOMAD with the wedge provided a super easy and very affordable way to get into combining these two passions - capturing what the eye could not or only barely see.
My setup is modest: A Canon 700D with a Samyang 135mm lens, tethering right at the edge of what the NOMAD is supposed to be able to do if Youtube is to be believed.
Polar alignment with the (illuminated) polar scope and the wedge was simple enough, so I set out to do some testing: how long an exposure could I get away with at what is essentially 200mm focal length: If I pixel-peep then at 120s I can see the starts to start trailing but honestly at 100% zoom I cannot. But my eyes are old and the polar alignment on every night might not be as good. So I'm making 60s my default for now.
I since took absolutely stunning pictures of various nebulas if Cygnus, the Andromeda Galaxy and a beautiful composition of the Heart & Soul nebulae with the χ & h Persei star clusters in the other corner of the picture. Bortle 3 and around 3 hours of exposure: crisp stars, good detail on the nebulae.... I am in love.

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.
