Description

The iOptron permanent piers constructed from aluminum alloy and 1/4" thick wall tubing. The thicker wall insures reduced vibration and increased system stability. Four aluminum side struts are welded between the pier tube and the base plate to eliminate side flexure of the tube assembly under heavy or off-center loads.

The pier is 900mm in height, with a CEM120 mounting plate. 


The pier can also be used for the following mounts, directly or with an adapter:

  • CEM60 (need Center Post P-8037-CP);
  • iEQ45 Pro/iEQ45 (need Center Post P-8037-CP);

  • Paramount MyT (no adapter needed)

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Riley M. ★★★★★

The aluminum alloy construction feels solid, and the 1/4" wall tubing really minimizes vibrations during use. Those four side struts add an extra layer of stability I wasn't expecting.

David E. ★★★★★

Putting this mount together, those four aluminum side struts really lock everything down tight. I was worried about flex, but the thick wall tubing handles wind gusts without a hint of shake. A solid piece of gear for a permanent setup.

Richard L. ★★★★★

The aluminum alloy build with the thick wall tubing really cuts down on vibration, which was my main concern for stability. Those four side struts make it feel rock-solid once it's all set up. Exactly what I needed for a steady mount.
