Starizona PE200 to EQ6 Tripod Adapter
The Starizona PE200 to EQ6 Tripod Adapter provides a robust mechanical link between the ZWO PE200 pier extension and the heavy-duty Sky-Watcher EQ6 tripod. This machined aluminum adapter allows you to pair modern harmonic drive mounts like the ZWO AM5 or Sky-Watcher Wave with a heavy duty steel tripod for extra stability.
Securely Connecting the ZWO PE200 to an EQ6 Tripod
The adapter is compatible with both the standard white EQ6 tripod and the newer black EQ6 to Wave tripod model.
-
Solid Construction: Machined from aluminum and anodized black.
-
Enhanced Stability: It allows you to use the ZWO AM5 or Sky-Watcher Wave mount on a heavy-duty steel tripod, for extra stability.
-
Complete Kit: Stainless steel mounting screws are included.
Installation Note: Removing the EQ6 Azimuth Post
The top of the Sky-Watcher EQ6 tripod features a central post and nut used for the azimuth adjustment of the original EQ6 mount head. While the ZWO PE200 pier has a cutout to accommodate this hardware, the post and nut can potentially interfere with this adapter, so remove them; they are only required for azimuth adjustments of the EQ6 mount.

What specific tripods does the Starizona PE200-EQ6A adapter fit?
It fits the standard white Sky-Watcher EQ6 tripod and the black EQ6 to Wave tripod.
Which mounts can I use with the Starizona PE200-EQ6A adapter?
This adapter's primary purpose is to connect a ZWO PE200 pier extension to an EQ6 tripod. The mount itself then attaches to the PE200. This setup is confirmed to work with the ZWO AM5 and Sky-Watcher Wave harmonic drive mounts.
Do I need to modify my Sky-Watcher EQ6 tripod to use the Starizona adapter?
Remove the azimuth post and nut on top of the EQ6 tripod. The PE200 has a cutout so they can stay installed, but they can potentially interfere with this adapter and are only needed for azimuth adjustment of the EQ6 mount.
What is the advantage of using the Starizona PE200-EQ6A adapter with a ZWO AM5?
The adapter lets a ZWO AM5 (or a Sky-Watcher Wave) be used with the PE200 pier extension on a heavy duty steel tripod for extra stability.
Is the hardware to attach the Starizona PE200-EQ6A included?
Yes. Stainless steel mounting screws are included.
What is the Starizona PE200-EQ6A adapter made of?
It is machined from aluminum and anodized black.
