Stable base for Wave Mount

This adapter pier extension connects a Sky-Watcher Wave mount to an EQ6 tripod, adding 177.8mm of height for better viewing clearance. It is designed for astronomers who need a rigid platform to reduce vibration during long observation or imaging sessions. The steel construction provides a firm foundation for valuable optical equipment in outdoor conditions.

Check tripod and mount compatibility

Verify that you are using the EQ6 tripod identified by part number 30918, as this adapter is engineered specifically for that combination. The Wave mount must be the model intended for this interface; other mounts or tripods will not align correctly. No additional hardware is referenced in the specifications, so confirm your existing kit matches these two items before ordering.

Steel construction and daily handling

The unit is machined from high-quality steel, giving it the mass and rigidity needed to dampen movement when the telescope is pointed at high elevations. Its precise mating surfaces lock the Wave mount to the tripod without play, so the setup stays aligned through repeated slewing. The added height changes the centre of gravity, so ensure the tripod legs are spread fully and weighted if the ground is uneven.
