Easy to use, metal construction feels durable. Works perfectly with Samsung S20FE (3 cameras) and Samsung Xcover Pro 6 (3 cameras). A bit fiddly with Samsung S22 Ultra (too many cameras).

Great value and easy to use
This is my first star tracker. I was able to easily set it up on my first time out. I was able to track for 4 minutes and each shot had sharp, round stars. Great product and so easy to align.

Thank you again for your support, and we look forward to continuing to serve you in the future.

Very simply and straight forward (easy) to use product. Using with the skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i, Polar Alignment is a breeze.
With this I can do what is the most stressful setting part of the Astro Imaging process, mainly when the stars 🌟 are out before you arrives on location. A normal with me.
A must have in your kit bag...

Michael ashwood left the following 5 star review for the product Skywatcher Star Adventurer GTi / Skywatcher Star Adventurer/Skywatcher Star Adventurer2i//Skywatcher Star Adventurer mini/iOptron Skyguider Pro- MSM Laser Kit

MSM Laser kit
I’m new to Astro photography and only recently purchased my Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i, so everything is trial and error at the moment, on the very few clear nights we have had here in the UK, I’ve not had much practice, but using the MSM Laser Kit it’s made the the first step of aligning the polar star so much easier and simpler, you have to centralise the laser before use and that is simple task, it took me about 30mins.
The product itself is quite robust and well made, easy to set up and comes with its own charger,
I’m really pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you MSM for a super product.

Customer service is nearly as important as the product itself. We've all dealt with merchants who sell you a product and then want you to go away. Not MSM. First, the product I purchased - a cell phone mount for my telescope, is a well-made product that will last me years. But more than that, what captured my attention with MSM was that their customer service dept (Hanna, specifically) stayed in touch with me via email during the long-ish wait to receive the product. I did not have to chase MSM down to find out where my product was, Hanna was proactive and reached out to me to explain that there had been a production snafu and that MSM would not accept a product that was not up to their standards. She kept me in the loop during this process so that I would know why there was a delay in receiving the phone adapter. She let me know the new expected arrival date and my adapter arrived even before that. While I am happy with the phone adapter, I'm even more impressed with the great customer service that MSM provided. MSM's customer support is the standard by which other companies should be measured.

Great device. Makes eyepiece alignment so easy. Smooth motion of adjustment knobs. Well built, not flimsy.

I bought the star focus filter. The product is very well made and is very helpful to focus on the stars. It is a must for astrophotography. Customer support is very prompt and helpful. I highly recommend this product and this company. I will be looking at other items they make and I'm sure I'll buy more from them.

Straight out of the box the laser pointer wouldn't screw into the mounting bracket because the threads were stripped. I left a post on their Facebook group only to have it removed and threatened with a ban. I've sent several emails, not one reply. Avoid like the plauge people. These are bad news.

I have purchased two of these in the last 6 months or so, one for myself and one for a family member. I/we have both had the same experience with them. We image together often and these are the poorest design and quality. My recommendation would be to never use it for anything more than super-widefield Milky Way Landscape panorama or time-lapse images and with nothing larger than an 18mm lens. The Move Shoot Move just cannot handle anything else.
I have used both the laser pointer and polar scope for alignment along with Polar Finder Pro. I have tried both the V and Z adapters (those are garbage and the little knobs for adjustment are useless and physically hurt your hand to use). I even mounted it on a $200 Benro 3 Gear tripod mount. I have tried 14mm, 24mm, 50mm, and 135mm lenses. No joy. The mount cannot handle the weight of even a Canon 60d and Samyang 14mm lens if pointed anywhere but horizontally. Even a 20-30 second exposure is completely fubar.
It seems to me that it does not track at the correct speed, even when set to Sidereal rate with a fresh and full charge. I have not gotten a single acceptable image using this device in the 6-ish months I have been using it. However, on a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer or my Sky-Watcher EQM-35 equatorial mount, I have captured some amazing images.
I recommend that you save a little more and get a real star tracker, you will be much...MUCH happier. The only reason to purchase one of these would be if you only do 14mm landscape Milky Way photography and must have the absolute lightest mount possible for hiking 10 miles into the mountains. Even then, I don't believe it is worth the hassle.

Update: I left this exact review on MoveShootMove's website (after receiving a request to review my purchase) and it is nowhere to be found. They only allow and post positive reviews of their products. That tells you all you need to know about them.
