iOptron 5.5" Mini Pier for ZEQ25 Mount
Fits perfectly. Well-engineered.

What was needed.
This helps out with a few issues with the CEM25P. The first one is a little more higher, which helps me when sitting on a chair or standing looking at the horizon. The second is setting up, I can level the tripod before putting on the CEM, this is a big deal. It gives you and extra 5 minutes of time, better for leveling and I feel safer. You can now mount your eyepiece tray to the tripod before you mount the CEM. Your tripod is now solid, level before the CEM is mounted.
Every thing I ask for.....
I just received this item today. It comes in all black and the knob to tighten down the CEM does not match the above picture. I prefer the new way which matches the mount screws already. Now I don't have to worry losing North because I can set the tripod up with eyepiece tray and level, then mount the CEM with loosing the eyepiece tray, big saving in time and more stable setup. Also OPT had very good service.

Quick and easy!
Ordered in the morning and the pier was shipped the same day. Very efficiently handled!
Just what I needed, and fast
I'm using the 5.5" mini-pier to mount my CEM25P to a permanent concrete pier. This was an inexpensive and simple solution, better than having to buy/build a more complex adapter setup. It's worked out perfectly. I ordered it from OPT on-line, got a shipment notice within an hour, and had it the next day (even though I only paid for 2-day UPS ground shipping). Nice job, OPT!
