Customer Reviews
Polar Scope and Accessories
The MVM Nomad Tracker is an outstanding device. With my Sony A7R V and Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art (together around 1.9 kg) mounted, and a proper polar alignment, I test-shot a single 10-minute exposure without any trailing. Even under pixel-peeping, the stars stayed perfectly round. A rock-solid and reliable solution for portable astrophotography.
Astroinseguitore compatto,funzionale ed assistenza eccezionale..ho avuto un piccolo problema che è stato subito risolto
I use it to take astro photos with small guiders or small teles and astro cameras.
The good thing about this is that it is elegant and tracks very well.
I would improve the accessories, like the polar scope that is useless
I would offer an smaller version of a telrad
A good EQ head to to mount scopes, would be awesome to have a lightweigh geared head that pans in 2 directions.
But beside accessories, the MSM by itself tracks the sky perfectly and it is robust.
Easier to use than you think . Very solid - would benefit from some more instructions especially if you buy the Z grip as well!
Buen buscador. Ajuste dióptrico y visión muy clara con el iluminador metálico. Aunque ya había trabajado con un buscador prestado, no conocía el iluminador. Sin duda, merece la pena el extra.
Polar Scope and Accessories
Its easy to use for wideangle objectivs. But a illuminator for the polarscope and a right angle viewer is needed.
This review is for the MSM as a whole : Honestly it just works great, it's very simple if you take the time to understand how to use it correctly, on my first try I got amazing images. I would recommend getting the V or Z plate with an additional ball head for more comfort. The basic set up works fine but can feel limited because of how the camera gets in the way of the ball head and scope. Special thanks to Hanna from support team that helped me greatly
