  • Software Bisque Paramount MX Base to Pier Adaptor Plate

    The Software Bisque Paramount MX Base to Pier Adaptor Plate is an essential accessory for integrating your Paramount MX+ mount with a custom observatory pier or a heavy-duty tripod. This solid plate creates a mechanically rigid interface between the mount base and your pier's top plate.

    A Machined Adapter for Custom Pier Integration

    This adapter plate is the solution for mounting a Paramount MX or MX+ on a surface that does not have the native Paramount bolt pattern. It allows the Paramount MX to be mounted on an existing tripod or pier.

  • When do I need the Paramount MX Base to Pier Adaptor Plate?

    You need this adapter plate if you are installing a Software Bisque Paramount MX or MX+ mount onto a pier or tripod that does not have the pre-drilled Paramount mounting holes. It serves as the mechanical bridge between the mount's base and a flat pier top plate.

    How does the Paramount MX Adaptor Plate contribute to stability?

    It provides a rigid connection at the crucial junction between the mount and the pier, ensuring the mount's tracking remains smooth and accurate for long-exposure astrophotography.

    Can I use this Adaptor Plate with a heavy-duty field tripod instead of a pier?

    Yes. As long as the tripod's head is a flat plate capable of supporting the mount and your optical tube, you can use this adapter to create a secure connection.
