Pier Extension for ATLAS SH20 Equatorial Mount
Give your setup the extra clearance it needs with the ToupTek Astro EP160 Pier Extension. Designed to raise your equatorial mount by 6.30" (160 mm), this sturdy aluminum alloy extension helps prevent telescope-tripod collisions during tracking and mount rotation.
Engineered for stability, the EP160 supports loads up to 33.1 lb (15 kg) while maintaining a lightweight, durable design. Its versatile mounting system supports three M6 mounting screws or a standard 3/8"-16 center bolt, making it compatible with a variety of equatorial mounts and tripods, including the ToupTek T-Forty and ZWO TC-40 carbon fiber tripods. Whether you're imaging deep-sky objects or observing the night sky, the EP160 provides extra clearance for a more flexible telescope setup.
6.30" (160 mm) of Extra Telescope Clearance
Raise your equatorial mount by 6.30" (160 mm) to provide additional clearance between your telescope and tripod. This helps prevent unwanted collisions during tracking, mount rotation, and meridian flips, especially with longer optical tubes.
Lightweight Aluminum Alloy with 33 lb Payload Capacity
Built from durable aluminum alloy, the EP160 combines strength and stability without unnecessary bulk. Its sturdy construction supports payloads up to 33.1 lb (15 kg), making it ideal for lightweight astrophotography setups.
Wide Tripod Compatibility
Compatible with popular carbon fiber tripods such as the ToupTek T-Forty and ZWO TC-40, as well as a range of mainstream steel tripods.
