ZWO PE160 Pier Extension

The ZWO PE160 Pier Extension is a sturdy, lightweight extension column of 160 mm height, developed for use with the ZWO AM5 and AM3 harmonic mounts in combination with the ZWO TC40 tripod. This extension provides extra height, giving your telescope more freedom of movement and significantly reducing the risk of collision with the tripod.

Especially for shorter refractors or larger tubes, a pier extension isn’t a luxury but a necessity. The PE160 gives you more flexibility in your setup, for example when you want to get closer to the zenith at low viewing angles without limitations. The aluminum design is robust and fully compatible with the ZWO system.

Thanks to the simple threaded attachment, you can place the pier between the mount and tripod without additional adapters. This extension is essential for anyone who wants to keep their rig stable, functional, and flexible during photography or observation.

What you can do with it:

• Prevents the telescope from hitting the tripod at low angles
• Improves the stability and balance of your setup
• Increases ease of use with large or long telescopes
• Ideal for mobile and permanent setups
• Fits seamlessly between AM3/AM5 and TC40 tripod
