Customer Reviews
The build is outstanding in quality - no shaky bits or play. the size is nice and compact. I'm looking forward to trying the wedge, hopefully this autumn when skies darken again here in latitude 60 - if the Nomade Star Tracker, which I ordered before the wedge, eventually ships (was supposed to ship in February!).
I find that the wedge works great with the MSM and not a too heavy camera setup. I got it to have something that is smaller and not as heavy as my regular wedge, this really fit the purpose.
Finally, I can precisely agree on Polaris. A sensitive adjustment is possible via screws in connection with the transmission. So far, I have not been able to make the exact adjustment so quickly with a ball head. Take a look to my deep sky picture.

Ho cercato molto ma, per ora, non ho trovato niente di superiore a questa montatura per fare agevolmente astrofotografia!
Help for polar alignment is easy.
It's great how such a small and manageable tracker can be so precise
Easy to use. Helpful staff. Helped me get all the pieces I needed
Good quality works fine.
I bought the MSM wedge to replace a SkyWatcher wedge that was very gritty and sloppy, IMHO. The new MSM wedge is smooth and much lighter. I don’t have to worry about sudden jerky movements or wobbles.
