Move Shoot Move Nomad
for adding polar alignment adjustability to a tripod with limited or no

Solid Construction
The Move Shoot Move Ball Head is
made to be flexible when you need adjustability and solid when you don't! To
help make adjustments precise, the ball head has been damped —
smoothing out your movements to reduce sudden, jerky, motion and to help
hold your adjustment in place while you lock things down. Locking your gear
in place is easy with textured knobs that provide a firm grip, with
different sizing for each to make differentiating between the two simple
even in the dark! For a robust platform, Move Shoot Move's Ball Head is crafted with light yet strong aluminum, CNC machined for a sleek
and precise finish. With this sturdy construction, this accessory can carry
up to 11 lb. of equipment making it perfectly suited for holding your camera
or as a polar alignment base for ultra portable star trackers and smart
telescopes!
