The Richard Tatti Dual-Hemisphere Astro NOMAD Tracker Kit from MoveShoot Move is a bundle of MSM products that together with your camera coax stunning images from the night sky. Based in Australia, Tatti is familiar with the challenge of polar alignment in the southern hemisphere. His creator bundle uses a smartphone holder and apps to track down Sigma Octantis, the southern polar star, without using a laser pointer, which are restricted in Ausralia. The rest of the set ensures proper tracking during long exposures to capture nebulae, galaxies, and other deep-sky wonders.
Compact, lightweight, and simple to operate, the NOMAD Star Tracker from Move Shoot Move allows cameras and smart telescopes to capture deep-sky images by countering the earth's rotation. The Nomad mounts on your tripod and is equipped with a mounting screw for a ball head holding your camera. Once properly aligned, the NOMAD will rotate your camera to match the rotation of the earth, capturing sharp images of stars, galaxies, constellations, and more.
Weighing only 4.6 oz, this 360° Panoramic Base from Move Shoot Move smoothly rotates a camera without interruption. Easily attach a camera to this base using the 1/4"-20 top screw. Quickly attach the base to an existing head or other device using the Arca-compatible base mount with a 3/8"-16 threaded socket. The engraved 360° scale on the base has 2.5° divisions for precise placement. It has a bubble level for accurate leveling to the horizon and a locking knob.
The Wedge from Move Shoot Move allows tracking mounts to operate equatorially for long-exposure astrophotography, tilting and aligning the telescope's azimuth so it can track an arc around the polar axis. The Wedge supports cameras or small telescopes up to 11 pounds, with an Arca-style plate on top for the rig and a 3/8"-16 tripod mounting hole in the bottom. Manual knobs control 0-60° tilting and permit fine adjustments to the 360° panning base.
Designed with a low center of gravity, the Double-Panning Low Gravity Ball Head from Move Shoot Move supports up to 15.4 lb. The ball head includes an Arca-type quick release plate with a top 1/4"-20 mounting screw and has a 3/8"-16 threaded hole at the base. It features two separate 360° panning axes, one beneath the Arca-type clamp and the other at the base, each with its own independent locking knob. Each panning base is equipped with calibration markings, enabling accurate and repeatable positioning. The top panning base also includes a bubble level to make leveling easy and precise. Two separate 90° slots offer choice in vertical setups. This compact design is only 2.7" tall and weighs just 9.5 oz.
The Move Shoot Move V-Mount Star Tracker Platform is a lightweight, adjustable, hinged star tracker platform designed primarily for astrophotography. It keeps a camera ball head level when mounted on a star tracker, preventing the awkward and often unstable angles that occur during polar alignment and tracking. It acts as a bridge between the star tracker and your ball head, allowing you to level the camera independent of the tracker's tilt. It holds up to 8.8 lbs and is suitable for users who need to minimize additional weight.
This platform comes with two independent locking levers and features a 360° rotation base. It can be adjusted and locked into place, providing a stable foundation for long-exposure shots. The top portion of the bifold plate has a 1/4"-20 threaded screw for wide compatibility with a range of equipment. The bottom plate has a standard 3/8"-16 threaded mount and comes with a removable 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 screw adapter that expands its compatibility with separately available tripods, monopods, or other support systems. This aluminum platform weighs only 6.2 oz and has two integrated bubble levels for precise leveling.
