Will I be able to use star adventurer equatorial wedge without the star adventurer?

Will I be able to use star adventurer equatorial wedge without the star adventurer? I want to do wide angle milky way photography with my dslr but the maximum shutter speed(without star trailing) is 7 seconds. Will I be able to improve the shutter speed using only the equatorial wedge?

Without the tracking part (Star Adventurer) you will still be limited to the same exposure time.

You're thinking it might be stiffer than a ball head camera mount? This would depend on the camera mount, I guess. The wedge is not designed for this purpose and would be slow to use for different altitudes. I'd just go for a decent camera tripod.

Unfortunately you can't have a motorised tracking mount without a motor....
