iOptron MiniPier - Compact Column Extension for More Height and Stability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iOptron MiniPier<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"iOptron<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More space, fewer restrictions<\/strong>
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strongly built, lightweight<\/strong>
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Widely compatible with iOptron mounts<\/strong>
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy to assemble<\/strong>
Thanks to the M6 and M8 screw fasteners, you quickly and securely place the MiniPier on your tripod. No fuss, just secure and observe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not suitable for<\/strong>
Tri-Pier 360\/360A or permanent pier setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for:<\/strong>
\u2713 Users who want to place their telescope higher
\u2713 Those seeking stability without extra weight
\u2713 Observers who want a flexible, modular setup<\/p>\n\n\n\n
