Daytime Alignment of the Move Shoot Move Rotator and Nomad

[@DR-fy7qy]

Thanks for clearly demonstrating the setup for the MSM Nomad tracker. Can you provide a link for the phone adapter and holder that you show in this setup? It appears this provides the flexibility to tilt the phone for better viewing as compared to the MSM phone fixed holder. Thanks.

Thank you. Glad it was helpful.

Hey Mike... Is there a reason you don't use the 3 way geared head for the nomad?

[@MikePach3PeaksPhoto]

It intereferes with the heads that I use, but I'll be showing some mounting solutions in my next video.

Ok I don’t get the phone mount part. It has a ball head of its own and can be positioned any ole way which will totally change the outcome of the alignment. I mean I can just align the app by just moving the phone around separately from the rest of the tracker and camera mount.

When you use the adjustment head to align for the longitude, all you need the phone for is to adjust the azimuth.

My question still not answered.....does the phone have to be parallel to the MSM to properly align things?

I added information at the end of the video to answer your question. The phone does not need to be parallel to the tracker if you're not using it to align the longitude.
