The pier adapter is designed to add 30mm height to the mount in order to clear the pier top plate.

4x stainless steel corrosion resistant bolts and nuts are included with your pier adapter for quick and easy installation.

The pier adapter is clear silver anodised for extra durability (We chose silver because, being a hard wearing part, black anodising shows up inevitable scratches).

There is an additional threaded hole for the EQ6 azimuth stop bolt which can be removed from the field tripod and screwed into the pier adapter.
