ZWO PE160 Pier Extension for AM5 / AM3

ZWO PE160 Pier Extension for AM5 / AM3 is a robust pier extension that seamlessly connects to the ZWO AM5 and AM3 mounts. The extra height of 16 cm prevents your telescope from hitting the tripod at low elevation angles — especially useful when using longer refractors or for visual use with zenith prisms.

The pier is made of high-grade aircraft aluminum, making it extremely strong while weighing only 1 kg. It’s temperature-resistant, wear-resistant, and can effortlessly support telescopes up to 10 kg without vibrations.
