I happened to stumble across this product while looking for something else on your website. I love the āVā bracket. I always keep it attached to my MSM. Now I want to get the āYā bracket. Bracket is well built. I did have a shipping problem, which MSM quickly corrected. Great product!

Sorprende el tamaƱo y lo robusto. Muy fƔcil de transportar y usar. En 30 segundos lo tienes listo para sacar fotos alineando con el laser y puedes hacer exposiciones de 2 minutos y medio con un 35 mm, lo que es maravilloso para un novato como yo. Ahora queda probarlo con focales mƔs largas a ver que tal se me da.

I ordered the two heads to be used with the MSM rotator in order to ensure better (and safer) mounting for astrophotography.
However once I got them in hand I found uses that I had not thought before. Low level photography? Check. Macro photography with and without a tripod? Check. Mount the camera underneath a tripod but turn it up side down? Check. Change between horizontal and vertical orientation? Check.
The quality is excellent and I never had a worry mounding my camera in any position. I do expect a long life out of them but certainly I am having lot of uses anyway.

A fine and very stable tool. Allows an almost limitless positioning of the camera on the MSM rotator. The locking terminals work excellently.

To be honest, besides the Astro usage, we've never thought it could benefit the slider users those much until we received the below reviews!
For low angle and macro usage, we've never thought it too.
Thank you for all your brilliant find out.Ā It encourages us a lot.

Hi Friends,
For months we have been refining a new product designed together with professional landscape astrophotographer,Ā Alyn Wallace (website). Now, we're ready for pre-order.
Below is a quick review of the journey, we hope you enjoy:
On the 14th June 2020, MSM ambassador Alyn Wallace told us that he has an idea for a new star tracker platform to solve the following problems:
The Problem:
- When at latitudes close to the equator it becomes very difficult to use the ball head on top of a star tracker.
-Itās also difficult to do panoramas, regardless of latitude.
The Solution
Adding a āStar Tracker Platformā so that the ball head becomes level. The angle can be adjustedĀ and locked into place and the platform can also be rotated. The platform is a perfect match for the Move Shoot Move rotator but also works with any star tracker..
Later, we researched all the possible alternative solutions, practicing and using, finally came to the first version as below:
1st Version, mainly verifying the mechanismĀ to lock the angled platform and also the rotating base.
Ā 
2nd Version, Enlarged the center rotationĀ section.
3rd version,
- Wrapped theĀ rotating disc to prevent dust entering.
- Changed screw to handle.
4th Version,
AddedĀ more space for the bottom handle, so we can operate with gloves.
And Finally, the final 5th Version, with some minor improvements to launch the production.
Below is the performance of the MSM Platform
Below is the performance ofĀ OTHERSĀ
Wait a moment, it may take around 10s to load all gifs.
Work as a tripod head

V or Z? Which Should You Buy?Ā
The V and Z platforms both solve the problem of having your ballhead at an awkward angle when on a star tracker. So what's the difference?Ā
The V platform is for those who want to save weight. If you're already using a heavy setup you may not have much room to add weight on top of the MSM which has a payload of 3kg.
The Z platformĀ has the added benefit of being able to be used to replace the ball head on a tripod when not using a star tracker at all. You can also use the Z platform as a table-top tripod. So it's an exchange of versatility for a little added weight.
