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.
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.
The wedge can securely mount the Nomad Star Tracker without more tools. Made entirely of black CNC-milled aluminum alloy, it ensures maximum stability and durability.
Setting up the Wedge
1. Mount the Wedge on the Tripod:
2. Attach the Quick-Release Plate:
3. Secure the Rig:
4. Adjust the Wedge:
Tilting:
- Loosen the handle (turn in the opposite direction of Knob B) to unlock altitude adjustment.
- Tilt the wedge by rotating Knob B, then lock it by turning the handle towards Knob B.
- Tip: Slight tilting is possible even when the handle is locked, the main purpose of this handle is to stabilize the whole wedge but not totally lock it.
Panning
- Use Knob C and Knob D to adjust the azimuth.
- To pan the wedge left or right, turn both knobs towards you or outwards simultaneously,
- Tip: Continue turning the knobs until one reaches its limit; this will allow further panning.
- To lock the wedge in place, turn both knobs at the same time towards the center.
- To unlock, turn both knobs simultaneously outwards.
