iOptron Tri-Pier

The Tri-Pier is a hybrid design that combines the rigid, vertical stability of a pier with the adjustable leveling capabilities of a tripod. This gives you the rock-solid foundation needed for heavy imaging rigs without sacrificing the portability required for field use.

The Tri-Pier is compatible with most iOptron mounts, but you should verify if your specific mount requires an additional adapter plate. Always check the mount's base specifications against the pier's top plate dimensions before purchasing.

It is rated for a maximum payload of 100 kg. This capacity is designed to handle heavy optical tubes and complex imaging trains, ensuring your setup remains steady during long-exposure photography.

Yes, it features integrated vibration suppression pads. These are specifically designed to dampen ground tremors, which is essential for maintaining sharp focus during long-exposure astrophotography.

At 11.7 kg, it is substantial enough to provide stability but remains portable enough for field use. It is designed to be broken down and transported, making it a manageable option for observers who travel to dark-sky locations.
