Mounting My New ZWO AM5 to My Roll Off Shed Thingy Pier

[@Zealor365]

I hope you figured out a better way to permanently mount the AM5. Your method left me scratching my head.

Actually it works great. To break down the mount I just loosen the 3/8 knob at the bottom of my pier extension. The reason I added the AM5 extension is to utilize the swivel assembly that would have come with an AM5 tripod that I didn't purchase or need.

You don't need to go past the bottom plate with the threaded rod . Just drill the plate and bolt it to the pier .that way you still have mobility

Well I thought about that, but the ZWO160mm extension is not threaded so I would have had to make another plate to bolt it to then bolt the extension down to my original pier. This was easier, but I may still do that later.

You could just get the zwo eaf

Yep, but this one works great and I didn't want to spend the money (yet) :)
