Since using it the noticeable difference in even phone photo quality is great, well worth it.
The MSM wedge like the DWARF 3 is very compact lightweight and robust and allows easily precise polar alignment. I fully support its well made design.
Loving the MSM Nomad so far! Super compact and perfect for hiking to dark sites here in NZ. I reused the mobile holder from my older MSM tracker, and it still works great for fast polar alignment in the Southern Hemisphere — locked onto Sigma Octantis without a fuss.
The upgraded motors are solid — they easily handle my Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art, which is no lightweight. Tracking is smooth with wide-field lenses up to 85mm.
Not made for deep-sky or heavy setups, but for Milky Way, aurora, and clean nightscapes, it’s a little powerhouse. Quick setup, travel-friendly, and reliable under Southern skies.
Very useful for my portable setup. Amazing results.
The best with this adapter is all the adjustmentoptions it have. That make its easy to fit your mobil. And its made of solid aluminium. I have tryed many others,but this is the best. I higly recomend it.
Excellent fit and quality
The MSM Polar Scope adapter is a great product. It's all metal construction except for the screw which holds the Polar Scope. You can attach most polar scopes.
At my first try I was abled to EQ my Drwaf3 within 1°. And its staable enough to hold that position for the whole night. So: thumbs up!

I use MSM warmers for all of my nightscape and concurrent time-lapse camera setups. Used with a 10,000 MAh battery (Anker brand) will run 6 to 7 hours on low. Low setting is all I've ever needed. The warmer straps are long; designed to use with fat telescopes so double wrapping with small mirrorless camera lenses works great. Keep up the good work MSM. Ps - You can see my previous review(s) on Amazon as JohnPT.
The 3/8" to 1/4" screw adapters are an essential piece of spare equipment to keep in your camera bag.
Not fully used yet, but after some test is good. Laser collimation also very easy
Makes getting polar alignment a lot easier. Eliminates awkward tripod adjustments.
I’ve always liked the concept of the Z-mount. Use it with iPhone, and it’s the perfect companion with an Arca Swiss Ball Head.
But the original lever locks on the Z-mount just didn’t have the instant, fool-proof, totally relible omph I wanted—even with something as light as a phone.
So when I saw these new levers, I immediately jumped on it. The Z-mount now has exactly the instant, rock hard reliable to keep the image precisely where I want it—NOW!!
That’s important to a guy who frames his images as tightly as I do.
Thank you, MSM!!!
Ordered the longer levers for the Z and V mounts, amazing difference with them being able to better secure the mounts. A great addition.
Top notch product and service too boot. These folks take care of their customers. You won’t be disappointed!
قمت مسبقا بتجربة هذا المتتبع الصغير في احدى رحلات التصوير الفلكي من احد المصورين ، وهذا الاصدار الجديد يتمتع بمزايا افضل منها طريقة تثبيت ضوء الليزر ، لقد كانت صور سديم المجره رائعه جدا ، انه سهل جدا وغير معقد.
A great wedge, everything is so precise, no sloppy movements at all.
I had been using the wedge that came with my iOptron tracker, but that is very loose. The MSM wedge is far superior in my opinion.
This product has worked very well for me with my Seestar S50 setup. Of the several tripod heads I have tried, this works the best. I am able to get reasonable polar alignment such that I can routinely take subs at 30 secs. For you S50 users out there, I recommend this product.
The best thing about it is the simplicity, not a bunch of buttons nothing. A lightweight block of metal that just does the job. Takes my Sl2s and a sigma 14-24 2.8 no problem.
Aligning is very easy with the laser, I’m much more willing to move to get different angles if I need to.
Highly recommended!!
Very easy to use and it's doing what it has to do.
This Star Tracker is awesome, its super portable and easy to use. I have to take it with me every time i go hiking or camping.
I love almost everything about the 3 way geared head except one flaw, that I find to be a real problem. The head sits so low to the base of the tripod that when you use the control for aiming up or down, the gear arm hit the base the tripod and restricts your movement. The movement is restricted to 8º. You can work around this by remounting the camera the opposite way when you hitting this wall, but it is a pain to have to that. Otherwise I like it a lot. It does take some getting used to if you are coming from a ball head.
