Giving 5 for design - 1 for quality of workmanship

I purchased the iOptron Tri-Pier to mount the WD-20 mount (supporting WO FLT132). I sold a EQ6-PRO to go to strain wave and wanted a heavier tripod than a TC40 (from ZWO) but remain portable.

The design and look of the pier is exceptional (I've had quite a few mounts in 35 years).

1) Looks and functionality are great
2) workmanship is terrible.
a) pier is not completely round - just setting up in the living room, the pier was scratched up when adjusting the pier height.
b) there are screws that extend through the mounts legs top portion (about 1/8") into the pier
c) top plate of the tri-pier does not sit completely flush with pier and with scope mounted it moves back an forth when slewing.

All in all great design, very poor workmanship.

Description

Introducing a new concept in mount support...

The iOptron Tri-Pier combines the strength and stableness of a pier with the levelling flexibility of a tripod. Aluminum pier and leg tops. Stainless steel leg extensions. The Tri-Pier feet has built-in vibration suspension pads.

The Tri-pier fits these iOptron mounts (may need extra accessories):
  • CEM70
  • CEM40
  • GEM45(may limit low latitude application)
  • CEM60/CEM60EC
  • iEQ45/iEQ45 Pro
  • iEQ30/iEQ30 Pro (may limit low latitude application)
  • AZ Mount Pro/MiniTower/MiniTower II/MiniTower Pro ((needs a center post and three leveling screws #8340-PIER)

The Tri-pier also fits other brand mounts with a suitable adapter.Manual
