Description

The MSM Wedge is designed for precise polar alignment, similar to a ballhead but with finer adjustment capabilities. It features four knobs and one handle, for multi-directional adjustments, allowing you to set your tracker or camera at various angles. On top of the Quick-Release Plate has a standard 1/4"-20 threaded screw so that you can attach anything with a 1/4"-20 threaded screw upon it.

How to set up NOMAD with MSM wedge:

How to use it?

Knob A Lock or Unlock the Quick-Release Plate on the top
Knob B & Handle:
- Knob B controls the altitude adjustment.
- The handle locks and unlocks the altitude adjustment when turned in the direction of Knob B or the opposite direction, respectively. Simply pull the handle out to adjust its direction and this action will not affect the locked or unlocked status.
Knob C & Knob D adjust the azimuth for precise left and right movements in tiny increments.
Knob E Factory screw for base connection only, no user function

Wedge + Panning Base. Why this combo?

The panning base lets you rotate your gear freely in any direction without moving the tripod—perfect for quick setup, especially in unfamiliar locations.
The wedge provides fine-tuned, precise adjustments, making polar alignment smoother and more accurate.
Together, they simplify both coarse and fine alignment, saving you time and effort in the field.

MSM Polar Alignment Wedge

Excellent quality and fast delivery , recommended .

Absolute Beginner

I have always wanted to have a go at astro- photography but the size, bulk and price of the equipment needed has always put me off. With the rapid development of new light weight but strong materials and electronics in recent times this has changed, hence the new MSM Nomad. At a very affordable price I finally bit the bullet and bought the Nomad starter kit, wedge and phone holder bracket. With the International shipping it arrived in two weeks and after reading the instructions and a little you tube browsing I had it set up and daylight polar aligned with the appropriate app within a very short period of time. Excellent!!. This proves that what you see and read is not just hype to try to get you to buy this equipment but the complete truth as an absolute beginner like myself who has never done this before can do it. All I have to do now is wait for some clear skies on a weekend when I am not working to get out to the countryside away from the city lights put my camera on it and give it a whirl. As I am a UK resident and it is approaching Autumn I might have to wait a while.

Wedge for precise polar alignment

Wedge review

Very good head for polar alignment. Easy to use and easy to align for a precise track.

Wedge for polar alignment

Quite impressed with this wedge compact but quite adequate of doing the job, works well with my SeeStar S50 it’s precise adjustments make it easy to get polar alignment. In all cannot fault it.

V1 wedge has play in the gears

I have the V1 wedge, light use and still in new condition - the tilt has developed play (fully tightened lever) in the gears making it unusable due to unreliable polar alignment. Shame, I liked its form factor.

very grateful

I was surprised by the ease of use, handling, and assembly.
I'm very happy.

The best comes in small packages

I never thot this little
Will be able to do long exposure for longer that 1 min but I was so wrong, I’m not an expert in trackers but this little guy is so easy to set up. I was able to figure out how to used correctly on my second try.
I’ll recommend it for starters and experience photographers due to the size, you can’t take it everywhere.
