The ZWO PE160 Pier Extension is a sturdy, lightweight 160-mm-high extension column designed for use with the ZWO AM5 and AM3 harmonic mounts in combination with the ZWO TC40 tripod. This extension provides additional height, giving your telescope more freedom of movement and greatly reducing the risk of collision with the tripod.
Especially with shorter refractors or larger tubes, a pier extension is not a luxury but a necessity. The PE160 gives you more flexibility in your setup, for example when you want to get closer to the zenith at low viewing angles without restrictions. The aluminum design is robust and fully compatible with the ZWO system.
Thanks to the simple threaded attachment, you place the pier between the mount and the tripod without additional adapters. This extension is essential for those who want to keep their rig stable, functional and flexible while shooting or observing.
What you can do with it:
- Prevents the telescope from hitting the tripod at low angles
- Improves the stability and balance of your setup
- Increases ease of use with large or long telescopes
- Ideal for mobile and permanent setups
- Fits seamlessly between AM3/AM5 and TC40 tripod
