  • Software Bisque Paramount MYT Pier Adaptor Plate

    The Software Bisque Paramount MYT Pier Adaptor Plate provides a mounting foundation for your MYT mount on a number of non-Software Bisque piers and tripods: SkyShed piers, Meade Giant tripods, Meade tripods and selected Celestron tripods. This optional plate ensures you can achieve a rigid, secure connection without being limited to Software Bisque's own support systems, opening up compatibility with your existing equipment.

    Securely Adapt Your Paramount MYT to Third-Party Piers

    The Paramount MYT is a precision instrument where stability is paramount. This adapter plate is engineered to provide a robust mechanical link between the mount base and a non-Software Bisque pier or heavy-duty tripod. By creating a broad, stable contact surface, it eliminates flexure and vibration that could otherwise compromise tracking accuracy and imaging results, ensuring your investment in the MYT performs to its full potential, regardless of the pier it's on.

  • What is the primary purpose of the Software Bisque Paramount MYT Pier Adaptor Plate?

    This plate allows you to securely attach a Software Bisque Paramount MYT mount to a pier or tripod that was not made by Software Bisque. It acts as a mechanical interface, ensuring a rigid and stable connection between two otherwise incompatible mounting systems.

    I have a custom-built pier. Can I use the Paramount MYT Pier Adaptor Plate to mount my MYT?

    This plate is for SkyShed piers, Meade Giant tripods, Meade tripods and selected Celestron tripods; for a custom pier, confirm the fit with Software Bisque first.

    I'm upgrading from a different mount on a heavy-duty tripod. Will this adapter plate help me install my new Paramount MYT?

    It can if your tripod is one listed for this plate: Meade Giant tripods, Meade tripods and selected Celestron tripods. It saves you from having to purchase a completely new tripod, allowing you to leverage your existing stable support system for your new mount.

    What are the dimensions and weight of the Paramount MYT Pier Adaptor Plate?

    Software Bisque does not state the plate's own weight or dimensions; the 5 lbs and 12 × 12 × 6 in on its listing are shipping figures.

    Does the Paramount MYT Pier Adaptor Plate include mounting hardware?

    Mounting hardware is not specified as an included item. Due to the wide variety of piers and tripods this plate can be mounted to, you will likely need to source the appropriate bolts or fasteners to connect the plate to your specific pier or tripod top plate.

    Is this plate required to mount the Paramount MYT to a Software Bisque pier?

    No. This adapter plate is an optional accessory specifically for mounting the Paramount MYT to non-Software Bisque piers and tripods. For Software Bisque piers, Software Bisque sells separate adapter plates, such as the Paramount MX Pier to Paramount MYT Base Adapter Plate (SB10283) and the Paramount ME Pier to Paramount MX/MX+/MYT Base Adapter Plate (SB10279).
