iOptron MiniPier - Compact Column Extension for More Height and Stability
The iOptron MiniPier gives your telescope the extra height and stability you need for comfortable observing. Whether you use a compact mount or a larger setup, this column extension provides more room to move and prevents your telescope from hitting the tripod while aiming.

More space, fewer restrictions
The MiniPier raises the working height of your telescope, allowing you to turn freely without colliding with the tripod. Perfect for long sessions where comfort and precision count.
Strongly built, lightweight
The MiniPier is made of high-quality metal with a coated finish. This provides strength and stability without being too heavy. This keeps your setup stable even when tracking objects at low heights.
Widely compatible with iOptron mounts
This MiniPier fits a variety of iOptron mounts, including:
HAZ31/46, CEM26, HEM27, GEM28, HAE29, CEM40, HAE43, HEM44, GEM45, HEM15, HAE16, HAE18, SkyTracker Pro, SkyGuider Pro and SkyHunter.
You can combine it with different tripods such as the carbon fiber tripod (8061/8061A), CEM26/GEM28 tripods and even the CEM70/CEM60/iEQ45 tripods.
Easy to assemble
Thanks to the M6 and M8 screw fasteners, you quickly and securely place the MiniPier on your tripod. No fuss, just secure and observe.
Not suitable for
Tri-Pier 360/360A or permanent pier setups.
Ideal for:
✓ Users who want to place their telescope higher
