Starfield Tri-Pier 1000B: Field-Ready Precision Pier
The Starfield Pier-1000B is a next-generation portable pier built for astrophotographers and visual observers who want observatory-level stability in a truly field-ready design. Its redesigned internal leg deployment system, paired with a rigid hex-core center column, allows for quick, smooth setup while delivering excellent torsional stiffness and confident tracking performance. The Pier-1000B is well suited for German equatorial, Alt-Az, and modern strain-wave/harmonic-drive mounts alike.
Harmonic mounts that use a standard 3/8" tripod connection—including the ZWO AM3/AM5 series, Sky-Watcher Wave Mount, Rainbow Astro, and similar systems—can be mounted directly out of the box. With the optional Starfield Uni-Plate adapter (sold separately), the pier becomes compatible with a wide range of mounts from manufacturers such as Celestron, Sky-Watcher, iOptron, and more, making it a highly adaptable foundation for nearly any setup! Please note: this is just the Starfield pier, mount heads and other adapters sold seperately.
Versatile Mounting Options
Note: The Starfield Uni-Plate adapter and Pegasus Astro mount adapters are sold separately.
Internal Slide Leg System
A fully enclosed internal slide mechanism keeps setup clean and fast—deploy and retract legs smoothly, then lock down securely, without exposed clamps or bulky hardware. *Please note: The red anodized pier is imaged but this listing is for the black pier. Construction is identical despite the color difference. See photos above for accurate color.
Hex-Core Center Column
The hexagonal column profile increases rigidity and reduces torsional flex, helping your mount stay locked in for steadier imaging and stable high-magnification observing. Shipped with a 3/8 mount adapter to make attaching popular mounts like the ZWO AM5 or Skywatcher Wave series mount easy with no additional mounting adapters needed.
Vibration-Dampening, Quick-Adjust Feet
Industrial-grade feet help absorb vibration and make leveling easy on uneven ground. Locking collars provide quick visual confirmation that everything is secure. The large Hex head knobs make leveling very easy, even with gloves on.
Built for Real Use
Constructed from laser-cut steel with precision welding and CNC-formed components, the Pier-1000B is designed for repeatable performance whether you're in the backyard, at a dark-sky site, or building a mobile setup. Built-in handle for easy transport when not in carry bag.
