Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Aurora A. ★★★★★

The 7-inch extension is exactly what I needed to clear my mount head with a long tube on it, and swapping between tripods takes seconds now. Solid little piece of kit that solved a real clearance headache.

Charlotte V. ★★★★★

Setup was straightforward—the baseplate adapter swapped out in under two minutes. My telescope now sits at a much better viewing height with the 7-inch extension, and the whole assembly feels rock-solid on the tripod.

Olivia ★★★★★

Adding this 7-inch pier solved my clearance issues with a long lens, and the mount head swap is now quick and easy. The extra height makes polar alignment much less of a back strain.
