iOptron Tri-Pier with Rolling Case

Get the strength of a pier with the versatility of a tripod with iOptron's Tri-Pier. This tri-pier is an ultra-steady and tough base, perfect for a wide range of mounts, including the AZ Mount Pro*, CEM60, iEQ45 Pro, iEQ30 Pro, MiniTower Pro & MiniTower II telescope mounts.

With a weight capacity of 220 pounds (100 kg), this Tri-Pier gives users a maximum payload that exceeds most tripods currently on the market but also has height adjustment and leveling capabilities that are rarely seen on a traditional pier.

The iOptron Tri-Pier is made of aluminum and stainless steel for strength and long-lasting good looks. An optional adapter plate allows the user to use the Tri-Pier with mount brands other than those listed on this page. *If you are going to use the Tri-Pier with the AZ Mount Pro, you will need the 8034-PIER, which includes a modified attachment bolt.

    Leo ★★★★★

    Carried this up a flight of stairs in its rolling case and was surprised how manageable it is for something this solid. Set up took maybe ten minutes and the whole base barely budged even with my heaviest scope on it.

    Natalie ★★★★★

    I was worried this would be wobbly like my old tripod, but the thick steel legs and center column make it rock-solid even with a heavy scope. The rolling case is a nice bonus for storage and transport.

    Andrew L. ★★★★★

    Setting up my telescope is so much faster now that I don't have to fuss with adjusting legs separately; the Tri-Pier's single locking lever is a real time-saver. The whole unit feels rock-solid once it's deployed, and having it all fit neatly into the rolling case for storage is a huge bonus.
