This offers two direct advantages: you can comfortably view through long refractors without bending over, and your telescope or camera rotates freely without hitting the tripod legs. Especially for zenith shots, this extra space prevents interrupted sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skywatcher-EQ5HEQ5-180mm-Zuilverlenging-WAVE-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ5\/HEQ5 180mm column extension WAVE close-up of the black column extension.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skywatcher-EQ5HEQ5-180mm-Zuilverlenging-WAVE-1.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ5\/HEQ5 180mm column extension WAVE on tripod with mount as an example of mounting height.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1.1 kg construction is built to maintain the stiffness of your setup: gain height without sacrificing stability.
