  • Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Tripod Extension

    The Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Tripod Extension adds 8.5 inches (215 mm) of height to your Star Adventurer Tripod setup. This 70mm diameter anodized aluminum tube fits between the tripod and a Star Adventurer or Star Adventurer Mini mount, and also fits Sky-Watcher AZ-GT series and AZ5 mounts.

    8.5" of Extra Height Between Tripod and Mount

    The extension sits between the Star Adventurer Tripod and your mount, raising the whole setup by 8.5 inches (215 mm). It uses the same central bolt connection as the standard Star Adventurer Tripod, so the mount attaches to the top of the extension exactly as it would to the tripod.

    70mm Anodized Aluminum Construction

    The extension is a 70mm diameter anodized aluminum tube. Its ends are threaded and recessed for flush contact with the tripod head and the mount base.

    • Material: Anodized aluminum tube, 70 mm (2.8 in) in diameter.
    • Compatibility: Made for the Star Adventurer Tripod and fits the Star Adventurer, Star Adventurer Mini, AZ-GT series and AZ5 mounts.
    • Flush Fit: Threaded and recessed ends for flush contact with the tripod and the mount.

  • What is the main purpose of the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Tripod Extension?

    Its purpose is to add 8.5 inches (215 mm) of height to your setup. It fits between the Star Adventurer Tripod and your Star Adventurer, Star Adventurer Mini, AZ-GT series or AZ5 mount.

    Will this extension fit tripods other than the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Tripod?

    It is made for the Star Adventurer Tripod and uses the same central bolt connection. Fit on other tripods is not confirmed by Sky-Watcher.

    I have an AZ-GTi mount with a small Maksutov-Cassegrain. Is this extension useful for me?

    Yes, if you want more height. The extension also fits AZ-GT series mounts and raises the mount, and therefore the eyepiece, by 8.5 inches (215 mm).

    How do I install the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Tripod Extension?

    Place the extension between the tripod and the mount. The mount attaches to the top of the extension using the same central bolt connection, exactly as it would attach to the tripod directly.
