Base de rotation panoramique MSM 360° - Réglage facile de la direction sur terrain irrégulier

Can’t say enough about the panning base and wedge. It makes setting up my SeeStar S50 in eq a breeze. There are nights I take it out to the front pasture and all I need to do is point it to magnetic north using my iPhone compass and it doesn’t require further adjustment. (After the first initial set up the first time I used it). Both appear to be high quality instruments. So glad I went this route for my eq setup.

I bought this in preparation for a trip to dark sky sites in Chile. I also tested it at my home in Wisconsin where Polaris is clearly visible for good polar alignment and just completed my trip to Chile. Overall it’s a very solid performer and I’m delighted with the rotator unit itself. My only disappointment is that the ‘richard tatti dual hemispheres’ package doesn’t include any provision for polar alignment. The additional laser pointer would be a huge help, especially in the southern hemisphere where is could at least be pointed in the general direction of beta octanis. My gear is a digital SLR camera with either 20mm or 85mm lens, with total weight of about 4.5 pounds. One cannot use a standard laser pointer as it needs to fit squarely in a machined recess in the unit to center the pointer over a small aperture (a tube, actually). Over this is a nice small rotator that works very well, but definitely needs an additional laser pointer for polar alignments

The 360 panoramic base is such a useful accessory. Im currently using mine with the MSM wedge just to dial in polar alignment using the lazer. In fact I need another one for my other tripod an camera set up!!

Perfect, a must have for any setup.

You don't know how much one of these is worth until you are out in the field and the convenience of a simple turn of a knob to pan around comes in so handy...so often..! The build quality is bullet proof, and I expect this little piece of equipment to last for years.! Thanks..!!

Very easy to use. Smooth bearing and glide/spin. Pairs well with the Wedge for quick and easy polar alignment.

Makes getting polar alignment a lot easier. Eliminates awkward tripod adjustments.

I recently purchased the Southern Hemisphere Move Shoot Move Star Tracker which I received very soon after. I inspected the kit and found it to be of exceptional quality, but the MSM 360° Panoramic Panning Base wouldn't lock into place. I then sent MSM an email requesting my next action. The answer was prompt and direct. Within a few days I had received a replacement item at no charge. I was amazed at the quality of service and support I received, and I am also thrilled to see how easy the whole system was to assemble and use.

Thank you again for supplying an outstanding product.

After using the star adventurer for a few years I decide that I need something more light and easy to set up in the field and this is it.

I’ve only used the base once since I’ve got it because of bad weather, but it works very well so far !
