  • Software Bisque Paramount ME/MEII/MX Heavy Duty Wedge-to-Pier Adaptor Plate

    The Software Bisque Paramount Heavy Duty Wedge-to-Pier Adaptor Plate is a robust interface for mounting your high-end equatorial head. It creates a stable, non-flexing connection between your Paramount mount and a custom pier or heavy-duty tripod.

    A Foundation for Paramount ME, MX, and MYT Mounts

    This adapter plate is the essential mechanical link for installing a Paramount ME, ME II, MX, or MYT mount onto a surface not pre-drilled with the specific Paramount bolt pattern. Its solid construction prevents flexure at the critical junction between the pier and the mount, preserving the tracking accuracy your Paramount is capable of.

    • Universal Pier Adaptation: Designed to adapt any flat-topped pier, tripod, or custom mounting surface to accept the bolt pattern of Paramount ME, ME II, MX, and MYT mounts.
    • Heavy-Duty Construction: The plate provides a rigid base that resists vibration and torque, critical for long-exposure astrophotography.
    • Simplified Installation: Eliminates the need for custom machining or pier modification, offering a direct, bolt-on solution for integrating your mount with existing infrastructure.

  • What is the purpose of the Software Bisque Paramount Heavy Duty Adaptor Plate?

    This plate allows you to attach a Paramount ME, ME II, MX, or MYT mount to a pier or tripod that does not have the native Paramount bolt pattern. It's a heavy-duty interface that ensures a rigid, flex-free connection for stable imaging.

    Will this adapter plate work with my Paramount MYT mount?

    Yes, this heavy-duty adapter plate is fully compatible with the Paramount MYT, as well as the Paramount ME, ME II, and MX models.

    I have a custom concrete pier with a flat top. How do I use the Paramount Adaptor Plate to install my Paramount MX+?

    You would first bolt the adapter plate securely to the top of your concrete pier using appropriate anchor bolts for masonry (not included). Then, you can attach your Paramount MX+ mount directly to the pre-drilled holes on the adapter plate using your mount's hardware.

    Does Software Bisque state the dimensions and weight of the Paramount Heavy Duty Adaptor Plate?

    Not in its description. The 14 × 14 × 5 in and 15 lbs on its listing are the shipping dimensions and weight; a technical drawing of the plate is available on bisque.com.

    I am upgrading from a different brand of mount to a Paramount ME II. Is this adapter the right part?

    Yes, this is the ideal part for that scenario. Instead of drilling new holes in your existing pier top plate, you can bolt this adapter to your pier's surface and then attach the Paramount ME II directly to the adapter, saving you from permanent modifications.

    Does the Paramount Adaptor Plate include mounting hardware?

    Mounting hardware is not specified as included. You will need to provide the appropriate bolts to attach the plate to your specific pier or tripod, and use the hardware that came with your Paramount mount to attach the mount to the plate.
