ZWO 160mm Pier Extension

The ZWO 160mm Pier Extension for the AM5 mount is an essential accessory if you're using longer refractors, which may otherwise hit the tripod when pointing near zenith.

Machined from aircraft aluminium for durability and rigidity, the AM5 Pier Extension can support up to 13kg (ZWO recommends keeping it under 10kg) while being incredibly lightweight at only 1kg.

The PE200 is compatible with ZWO's TC-40 Carbon Fibre tripod, along with standard 1.75" tripods from iOptron and the Celestron 2" tripod for the AVX mount. The PE200 is not currently compatible with tripods from Sky-Watcher. Optional short pillars are available, transforming the PE200 into the lighter and more portable PE160.
