I am using this with the Ioptron Pro Az mount with my Meade 8" ACF and my ES 80mm. The pier stores in a small area and handles my equipment perfectly. Adorama shipped it quickly and was very helpful when I was selecting what I needed.

First, thank you Adorama for prompt and efficient service. The tripier arrived promptly in a compact well packed box. While there were no instructions it was easy to figure out how to put it together. It is well constructed and took less than 15 minutes to unpack it and put it together. It was also easy and quick to mount my CEM60 on it. That evening I used it with my AP130 and was very satisfied with how stable it is. No problems at all focusing while using my 3mm Nagler. The tripier is also not that heavy and easy to carry out and set up. The only downside I found is that the pier very easily gets scratched and marked up so that only after a few times adjusting it makes it look like it's been heavily used. Because of that I rate it 4 stars instead of 5.

Just when you thought mount support couldn't get any better, the iOptron Tri-Pier for GoTo Mounts arrives to revolutionize the game. This innovative product seamlessly merges the robust strength and stability of a traditional pier with the adaptable leveling capabilities of a tripod. Crafted from high-quality aluminum, the pier and leg tops of the Tri-Pier are designed to withstand the test of time.
The Tri-Pier doesn't stop there. It also features stainless steel leg extensions, offering unmatched durability and resilience. Whether you're setting up in a studio or out in the field, the Tri-Pier is built to handle the demands of any environment.
One of the standout features of the iOptron Tri-Pier is the built-in vibration suspension pads in the feet. These pads work to minimize any potential disruptions, ensuring your equipment remains steady and your shots stay clear.
The Tri-Pier is not just versatile in its functionality, but also in its compatibility. It fits a wide range of iOptron mounts, including the CEM60, iEQ45/iEQ45 Pro, iEQ30/iEQ30 Pro (though it may limit low latitude application), and the MiniTower/MiniTower II/MiniTower Pro (which requires a center post).
But the compatibility doesn't stop at iOptron mounts. The Tri-Pier also accommodates other brand mounts with a suitable adapter, making it a truly universal solution for your mounting needs.
In summary, the iOptron Tri-Pier for GoTo Mounts is more than just a mount support. It's a testament to innovative design, robust construction, and versatile compatibility. It's the perfect companion for your camera equipment, ensuring stability and flexibility wherever your photography or videography takes you.
