Difference between NOMAD and MSM Rotator:

  1. Improved attachment points. The previous manufacturing tolerances were fine for Astro-landscape but deep-sky needs a firmer foundation.

    1. The MSM Rotator, due to its design, required specific weight positioning to keep the ball head secure; this has been completely eliminated.  

    2. The laser now screws into the tracker eliminating any chance of wobble.  

    3. The industry standard quick-release plate on the bottom is secured in 2 places preventing any twisting of the tracker on its mount.  

  2. Improved load capacity.  

    1. The hardware has been built to withstand twice the amount of torque as the MSM Rotator. 

    2. Where the MSM Rotator was only designed for wide-angle Astro-landscape, the NOMAD has been designed with wide-field deep-sky use in mind.  

    3. Availability of an optional counterweight system for more experienced users to go even deeper.

  3. Simplified operation.  By designing and building a device with a narrower focus we were able to make it better while keeping the size down.

    1. One 3-position switch; Northern hemisphere, Southern, or Off.  

    2. In order to improve on our goals of ease of use and portability, the non-tracker function of the MSM Rotator has been left off, greatly simplifying the operation of the new tracker.  

    3. The NOMAD is focused on one function, star tracking.   (NOMAD does not have timelapse mode) 

  4. Reduced size and weight.  A foremost feature of our trackers is portability. 

    1. Our users take our trackers with them even when backpacking to some of the most remote areas of the world. 

    2. We worked to make storing and transporting the tracker even easier so you'll always want to have it with you when traveling.

    3. The tracker is called NOMAD for a reason; it is designed to travel with you wherever you go.

Compact, Easy, and a Joy to Use

I was really surprised by how easy it is to use, and how small and light it feels. I’ve used it with a 90mm lens and I’m thrilled with it

Compatto e leggero

Il Nomad è un astroinseguitore compatto e leggero, pensato per astrofotografi itineranti. La sua struttura portatile lo rende ideale per chi scatta sotto cieli bui lontani dalle luci cittadine. Facile da bilanciare e configurare, offre un inseguimento preciso per esposizioni lunghe con focali medio-corte. La batteria integrata e la possibilità di ricarica via USB-C lo rendono particolarmente comodo in campo. Ottimo per via lattea, paesaggi notturni e astrofotografia leggera, anche se meno adatto per strumenti pesanti o lunghe focali. Un prodotto perfetto per chi cerca qualità e mobilità.

Nomad - Very ease yo use

I ‘m a novice Astrophotograper and for my voyage to Tenerife I bought the Nomad Astrofollower, and I have to say that it was very easy to mount and setup. I’m very happy of my pictures taken with this tool.
You can see my very first photo using Nomad. Some post processing has been performed.

Light and Accurate

The NOMAD version is a great design and purpose. Lightweight for packing and yet designed so that it can be attached quickly and provides what is needed. Amazing it improves MSM

Great product

It’s a solid product I haven’t been able to find immediate time to use it or really get to know it but so far it’s been a great aid with the astrophotography side of things
