TS pier adapter and tripod adapter for Vixen/EQ5 mounts and similar

The adapter allows you to attach your mount to the TS-Optics Tri-Pier pier tripod or to do-it-yourself pier.

How to attach your mount to the pier tripod or pier with this adapter:

• Screw the adapter to the bottom of the mount. Use the matching washer with the slot, this will seat the mount snugly, but it can still be adjusted.
• Then place the mount with the attached adapter on the pier or on the pier extension of the TS-Optics Tri-Pier pier tripod. The adapter fits all piers with 94 mm inner diameter.
• For fixation, the pier adapter provides three radially arranged female M6 threads (distance 120° to each other) at the ring base on the bottom side. Axial fixing is not provided. Therefore, practically only a pipe comes into question as a pier.
