iOptron Tri-Pier Adapter

This adapter acts as a mechanical bridge, allowing you to securely attach an Astro-Physics mount to an iOptron Tri-Pier. It ensures the mount head sits level and stable, which is critical for tracking accuracy.

This adapter is designed for specific Astro-Physics mount interfaces. You should verify your mount's base plate dimensions against the adapter's specifications to ensure a perfect mechanical fit before purchasing.

No. The adapter is machined to be rigid and maintains a solid connection between the pier and the mount. As long as it is tightened properly according to the installation instructions, it will not introduce unwanted movement or flexure.

The adapter typically comes with the necessary hardware to attach it to the Tri-Pier. However, you should double-check that you have the correct mounting bolts for your specific Astro-Physics mount head, as those are often provided with the mount itself.

This adapter is specifically engineered for the iOptron Tri-Pier system. While it might physically fit other piers with similar mounting patterns, it is optimized for the iOptron ecosystem and we recommend using it only as intended to ensure stability.
