The TE200-QR universal pier extension is primarily recommended for increasing the height of modern strain wave gear mounts. Thanks to its quick-release mechanism, the mount head can be easily removed, while the optional safety lock protects against accidental release.
Mount heads from numerous manufacturers can be installed on top of the pier extension:
- ZWO AM3 / AM5 / AM7
- SkyWatcher Wave 100i, 150i
- Touptek Atlas SH20
The TE200-QR pier extension is compatible with the following tripods:
- Touptek T-Forty carbon tripod
- ZWO TC40 carbon tripod
- SkyWatcher NEQ-5 tripod (additional adapter required)
- SkyWatcher EQ-6 tripod (additional adapter required)
The top of the TE200-QR universal pier extension features a quick-release system that allows the mount head to be removed in a single movement. An optional safety lock is also available: when activated, a separate button must be pressed to fully remove the mount head. This provides extra protection against accidental release of the mount head.
