Move Shoot Move NOMAD set up tutorial. How to use the Nomad tracker 

Hey man, I'm planning to buy a nomad and your video helped alot here, thanks alot mate 🎉

Thank you so much Alex. I've waited to buy a NOMAD until an instruction video was uploaded. This is perfect. Thanks again.

You have the most amazing instructions. Thank you so much for all of your work to simplify everything.

Thanks for the informative video. I just got my Nomad and really love it. The biggest downside for me is how the laser mount is such that you often have to reposition the camera for the pointer to get through. I think they could have done a better job with that design so that the laser mount is further away from the edge of the device. Other than that, the Nomad looks like a well thought-out device. Can't wait to really try it out.

Of all the videos I have watched concerning the Nomad, yours' by far is the best. The video was straight forward and easy to understand. I am subscribed now.

Wonderful video! I just bought my nomad a few days ago, and just found your channel!

Well done Alex. A very comprehensive video.

Thanks Alex. I got to get one of the Nomads. I like all the improvements.

Thank you for this detailed explanation ❤

Great video Alex. Just used my Nomad last week to Image the Orion Nebula. Thank you for the details on setting up the Nomad!

Aloha Alex, just received my Nomad. Excellent video on setting it up. I am all set up and hoping to try it out tonight. Mahalo

Good and thorough. Nice!

Hi Alex great videos by the way. I am in the southern hemisphere in Australia just north of Sydney 33 degrees South. Have been playing with my new Nomad and phone mount. I am trying to mix and match some components to decide on a satisfactory mounting arrangement. I use a Nikon D780 full frame with 20 and 50mm f1.8 lenses to track Milky Way. I am currently using a Z mount from MSM as a base(but only in L format) to cut down movement. To this I have an arca swiss clamp to attach the Nomad. To this I have attached a ball head supplied by MSM. My camera sits on top. The phone adaptor seems to lock in with my old iPhone 7 parallel to Nomad so with phone in place I use Photopills spot stars as u suggested to locate the south celestial pole. Currently testing this set up at 1, 2 and 3 minutes. Zoom in at 200% and no trails using either lens. Awesome! Here is a suggestion for those using phone mount, locating South celestial pole involves crouching down and then looking up at 33degree angle so I reversed phone and you can now stand and look down and align with North Celestial pole with the tracker still pointing to the South. Will let u know results.Doing lots of testing. Also I noted you snuck in a Z mount on top of the tracker in the video. Little extras like this can make a big difference. Love your work. Thanks from down under

great video; thanks

Thanks for the video. Waiting for the video, how to shoot tracked multi raw pano using Nomad with 50/85/135 mm lens. Curious how Nomad performs. TIA Clear skies! Love from India 🇮🇳🌌

Fantastic video!! Thanks so much for sharing!! One quick question, when do you start tracking, as soon as it is alligned?

Крутое видео, спасибо!

I have the original MSM. The locking ring/setscew is the thing I'd buy this one for. I've had the ball head unscrew too often, when the weight of the camera/lens was CCW heavy. NOT GOOD. If you tried to tighten the ball head more, the internal gears jumped teeth. I made a "tool" from acrylic that was thin enough to fit between MSM body, and ballhead. Used a holesaw so either side of the tool gripped around disk (pliers like). The tool clamps the disk so I can turn ballhead much tighter without fear of gear damage. Still not perfect. MSM knew they had a problem! They should offer a reasonable price for exchange. I want this one, but don't want to essentially buy the thing twice. I signed up for your channel because of your thorough tutorials on the MSM, so thanks!

Great video Alex. Just got my new Nomad and can’t wait to try it. In the past I’ve taken a dozen shots of the Milky Way and processed them using sequator. You mentioned you took 10 shots of the sky so you’re still stacking them? Would you have to take more than one shot of the Milky Way, once you figure out the right settings? Thanks.

My Nomad arrived yesterday and i started setting it up today. THank you for such a detailed video! QQ - have you used the Nomad with your Olympus OM-d EM1 MK III and the Olympus 300mm lens? I have both and while I don't think the weight should be an issue, I am a little worried about the balance using a longer lens on the Nomad.

It's funny that you're using the 3 way geared tripod head with your tracker because I've recently thought that using that type of head would be so much quicker than using a wedge that comes with most trackers. I've been using the wedge that came with my Sky Guider Pro, and here in the last couple of days I've considered switching to a 3 way head. I use the laser from MSM with my tracker to polar align and then I lay another laser between the hotshoe rails on my camera to point at what I'm shooting. Do you like the Benro geared head ??

Thank you Alex. I am purchasing the NOMAD this week. So this may be a silly question but is there an on/off switch on the NOMAD? Also - 35mm....looks like you got a lot in the frame. Can the NOMAD withstand the weight of a 70-200 f2.8? Again, thank you.

By the way I ordered MSM unit today and used your discount code

Am I correct is stating: MSM or Move Shoot Move is the company name. The Rotator is the original tracker. The Nomad is the new tracker. This gets so confusing when everyone calls it the move shoot move.

If you’re just using the ball head, can you still swivel the camera around and have it not lose polar alignment? I never understood how that works with a ball head and moving it around.

Alex, how do we reach out fora one on one training session by zoom?

How do you use that V plate in your setup, towards the end of the video? I find that it’s impossible to use the V plate the way you showed without totally blocking the laser pointer. Did you use the polar scope instead?

Hi Alex, I took the nomad out for the first time tonight to test. I ran into a really annoying issue that I did not have with the MSM rotator. Imagine that you are polar aligned, but in the process of mounting the ballhead on top of the tracker, setting up the camera, etc, you lightly bump the tripod. So you need to realign. but the ballhead/camera is in the way. This would not have happened with the MSM because the laser pointer was positioned on the side of the rotator. Have you run into this? Any advice?

Id like the 1 on 1 zoom class please.

Could you use a 135mm lens on nomad.or will it be too heavy

Hi, help me what to do if my newly picked up nomad is not moving. The charging diode lights up blue during charging. Regardless of which hemisphere I choose, the tracker stays in place even without load. Can it be reset somehow?

When you finish an alignment to Polaris... how you move camera to the object you want to capture? Once you move the camera, the Polaris alignment is gone.

My phone adapter does not fit into the phone bracket. Did they change the phone adapters as I bought it about 2 years ago.

how do you set 4min exposioure? external controller?

will this be good for a telescope that weighs 2kg-3kgs?
