Model: zwo_pe200_extPart Number: PE200
Excellent service from FLO as per usual. ZWO Pier is of excellent build quality. Easily mounted on my CF iOptron tripod. I need the adapter for my AM5 and one comes with pier so everything is gravy!
Great build quality for the PE200 and it provides very stable support in extending the AM5 EQ mount and what is a heavy Esprit 120 and accessories. Very happy to report all is working well during my initial testing and first light usage. Highly recommend the PE200. Thanks for FLO for usual efficiency and great service.
An excellent addition to my AM3 mount. Very easy to install on the tripod and connect with the mount. A very well engineered and substantial pice of equipment.
Sturdy construction and easily fitted to ZWO carbon fibre tripod. Didn't know this when purchased, but pillar comes with adapter plate allowing me to use AM5 on Sky-Watcher HEQ5 tripod which will be my usual setup now on. Only managed one night so far with this setup, but guiding was good, mount seemed very secure (with Askar FRA600 - 13kg all up) with additional safety margin to reduce change of tripod collision.
Whilst I am very pleased with this pier - gives me plenty of clearance and is well made. I did have a bit of a headache is fitting on my Berlebach Planet tripod which has the EQ5 / HEQ5 fitting. Turns out that German tolerances are more accurate than Chinese and the silver EQ5 puck supplied with the ZWO pier wouldn’t fit my tripod. Too big ! I also tried on my Sightron tripod again the EQ5 wouldn’t fit. However the pier using the larger puck does drop straight into the Sightron tripod without a problem. My advice is do some research unless you plan to go with the either the ZWO carbon tripod or a Skywatcher steel EQ5. Alex has been first rate in his help and advice. Thank you
