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.
La atención al cliente fue muy buena, la atención de Hanna, perfecta, en todo momento me facilitó la resolución de un error que hubo con el stock, y a pesar de la diferencia horaria que hay respecto a España, siempre recibí mi respuesta, en cuanto al tracker, todo perfecto, con un buen alineado, se consiguen resultados increíbles, ninguna holgura, la capacidad de peso cumple, probado con un 70-200 f2.8 y va perfecto, estamos encantados, pedimos 2, con el kit del laser, Muchas gracias!!
The MSM Wedge is the perfect companion for the Nomad. It lets me align the mount precisely and take long exposures without star trails. Super stable, easy to adjust, and compact, it makes my astrophotography sessions much smoother and more accurate. If you want to get the most out of your Nomad, this adapter is a definite yes
This is my first tracker and I’m using it with a mirrorless camera perfectly.
La cuña para alinear es una maravilla. Con un gran detalle puedes colocar el objetivo en el punto exacto que deseas. Con las rótulas de bola yo me volvía loca y costaba mas estabilizar. Una gran compra y no me ha parecido nada cara para lo que es! El servicio post-venta fue excelente y muy amables (quería dos y solo pedi una y me dejaron pedir la segunda sin gastos de envío)

Best compact tracker there is!
Excellent quality and fast delivery , recommended .
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.
Es perfecta muy sencilla de manejar la recomiendo!!
