Installation Tip
Eric’s phone holder is made of plastic, so please avoid applying excessive force as it may cause damage.
For installation, we recommend first removing the red cap on the back of the NOMAD, then sliding it into the holder and gently clicking it into place.
As we all know, polar alignment in the Southern Hemisphere can be tricky. Thanks to the clever and creative design by Eric Wilkes, the process becomes far more intuitive and much easier. We’re now working to make this phone holder accessible to more people.
The holder is simple to use in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres.

Notices / Warnings
-
Phone sensor differences: Due to variations in phone compass and inclinometer performance, tracking accuracy may vary. Most users will achieve excellent astro-landscape results, though some phones may perform slightly differently.
-
Remove smart devices during alignment: As tested by Eric, please remove your smartwatch and do not mount your camera on the ball head until after polar alignment — these can affect compass accuracy.

Material notes: We chose ABS for its durability during shipping and daily use. However, ABS naturally has a more textured, gritty surface compared to CNC-machined metal. Please handle it gently and avoid applying excessive force to prevent possible damage. Please note that we do not provide replacements if the holder arrives intact but breaks during daily use.
