Astronomy Specialist
The iOptron heavy duty Tri-Pier 360 is designed for CEM120 mount. It combines the strength and stableness of a pier with the levelling flexibility of a tripod. Made of 1/4 inch thick aluminium alloy and CNC machined legs with adjustable feet.
The newly redesigned version is much lighter and smaller but just as stable as the old model.
The Tri-Pier 360 can also be used for the following mounts, directly or with an adapter:
Max payload | 165 kg (360 lbs) |
---|---|
Pier weight |
13.9 kg (31 lbs) |
Material | Aluminium alloy, CNC machined, anodized |
Pier diameter | 150 mm |
Pier wall thickness | 5 mm |
Pier top plate | 210 mm x 210 mm |
Adjustable height | 860 - 1020 mm |
Uneven ground range | 51 mm |
Leg maximum spread | Ø 1150 mm |
Pier dimensions folded | Ø 240 x 820 mm |
Warranty | One year limited |
SKU | IO-8037A |
This a rigid mount, cosmetically excellent. Currently has a CEM70, FLT 132, guiderope and accessories without any hint of instability
Two issues apparent
- No place to hang/ mount hand controller or power pack. Really irritating because it’s a complete iOptron system.
- The height adjustment holes are hard to locate and it takes 1 second to scratch the pier. This needs a fix!
Operationally, not real performance issues but really need consideration
I have an iOptron CEM70 and the tri-pier is a great match - can't really fault the product, and any criticisms are purely nitpicks - the red screws that secure the pier need to be loosened a little to make them all fit properly, and feet could be slightly tighter - thats about it.
Highly recommended.
