My only regret with this mask is not getting it sooner. To know that I've nailed focus means I know the nights shots are going to be usable. I can check focus through the night rather than hoping it hasn't drifted or been knocked out.
This solidly built tracker has simple steps for setup and tracks the sky with ease. Used it with a 90mm lens on my mirror-less camera.
Small and light. Maybe if the bottom of the Z and V plate were made already like arca-swiss shape, it would be awesome!
Otimo material, otima qualidade.. para mim que sou iniciante, ajudou muito
Quite pleased with my purchase. Would buy again.
Coming off of my EQ6-r, I was able to get this bad boy set up pretty easily. Only caveat I have is to ensure you have a sturdy tripod. I have one that is a bit light and, as expected, experienced some shift/creeping in situ. This said, during a very quick optest (full moon), I was able to EASILY get 1 minute subs. Once I get a sturdier mount, I fully expect I’ll easily be able to get 2-3 minute subs. As it stands, I recommend this product. (I have the laser for polar aligning, but do believe polar finder would be worthwhile to get for more accuracy as multiple you tube videos point out).
I really loved it, it's very well designed and easy to setup in no time. A very good star tracker. I guess some instructions included with in would come handy.
Originally I was skeptic if such a small sky tracker could perform as well as traditional devices. To my surprise the Nomad performed just as well as a bigger devices. The fact this thing weighs a fraction of other sky trackers and has a low cost is a win win for me. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to get into tracking. I was using this set up with a z plate and Sony A7IV plus an adapter and a 1kg lens. Total weight was around 2.3kg and I could track up to 4 minutes with zero complications.
I have tried numerous phone adapters. They all disappointed one way or the other.
The Tridaptor, however, is solid, accurately made and does everything right.
After browsing many such tripod heads, the MSM 360° Flex Tilt & Pan Head stood out and had me pull the trigger after watching AW's review. Even after he left us, he still has my complete trust when it comes to choosing the perfect equipment. The head was well worth the money and is standing the test of time and use like a champ. It's perfect for my use case.
After wasting a lot of money on various kit to attach my phone to my telescope and binoculars I have something that does the job properly. The Tridapter is well made and has opened up a whole new field of photography for me. Thank you Move and Shoot
Perfect for phone-based daytime polar alignment
Really surprised the good results using NOMAD tracker, just using the laser pointer to Polaris star, switch on the unit and start shooting bulb images of even 6 minutes exposure long and the starts are still really defined.
Very pleased with quality of product & customer service.
Very happy with the tracker. It is very small and easy to use as well as precise. I think it is a very convenient set up to track the stars and push the detail of the Milky Way
I'm a beginner in astro photography and even if I live in the northern hemisphere, I don't always have a clear view of Polaris. This is so easy to use. My Android phone, Stellarium or Photopills to point to Polaris and I'm all set.
The product arrived well packaged and with no damages. I did first trials with wide-field lenses (14 mm, 20 mm and 24 mm). The photos have been sharp with no trailing up to 120 s. I will take the Nomad tracker to La Palma in the next step. According to Richard Tatti´s YT video I did some recommended changes.
I obtained the z/v mount upon noticing various positive reviews. It has worked extremely well so far. First off, you can tell it’s made with quality. The material used is quality metal and although surprisingly heavy, ensures minimal vibration while on a tripod. The other thing I like is the ease of adjustment. When using the msm star tracker, it works flawlessly. I can adjust with ease. The locks for the adjustment are really quality. They haven’t gotten loose once since I’ve purchased, and thanks to the quality, I believe it will last as well. From what I reviewed based on other photographers, these mounts last, and when in my hands, I can understand why.
After using a clunky iOptron sky tracker for 5+ years, I bought a MSM Nomad when the iOptron broke. The Nomad device worked flawlessly, and for its size, performed amazing. I was shooting 4 minute exposures with pin point stars. The little Nomad really clamps down on the mount point giving confidence nothing will slip. Loved the associated laser pointer I got with it. Made Polaris alignment super simple. I used the tracker once since I got it, June 2024, and looking forward to going out in August to shoot some vertical MW images with it.
I have had the MSN Nomad for a few weeks and I can only say good things about it. This start tracker is lightweight, simple and easy to use. In combination with the laser, it makes polar alignment very quick and simple. And you can track the stars at least for 2 minutes without any star trailing. I don't think you can ask for anything else when you are under the stars.
Well constructed filter. The addition of filter size adapters was nice.
Very easy to use with clear instructions and videos on YouTube. Purchased with the laser pointer and polar scope which makes alignment so easy. I’m still learning how to get the best pictures but even the first ones I have are far better than trying to get shots without it.
Would recommend this to anyone wanting to get great star and astro shots.
Un star tracker muy práctico e intuitivo con el que realizar seguimiento en astrofotografía de vía láctea se vuelve super sencillo. Totalmente recomendable.
Hola, el tracker funciona perfectamente. He tenido un problema con el Laser, y la comunicación con la empresa a sido perfecta, solucionado. Muy recomendable el Nomad Tracher y la tienda.
