Ever find yourself wishing that you had a bigger mount? Short of a magical spell, you can maximize the robustness of the mount that you do have by increasing the strength of your tripod or pier.
Upscaling your pier size will provide increased stability when operating your mount near its upper levels of capacity. If you have a long scope, this will be a benefit. It will also improve wind gust resistance and quicken damp-down times.
The ADATRI-8FP adapter is a two-part adapter. It consists of the M9010-A and the ADATRI. The M9010-A attaches to the Astro-Physics Portable 8” Pier which allows either the ADATRI or the 119FSA to be attached to it. If you also have a 900GTO or 1100GTO mount, you’ll be able to use the same pier by swapping out the adapters.
The Control Box Extension (Q6280KIT) will be required to provide clearance for the larger pier diameter when mounting the Control Box Adapter (CBAPT) for the CP2/3 or CP4/5.
