Starfield Optics Tri-Pier for astrophotography – Advanced Hex-Core Portable Pier
Built to outperform. Engineered to inspire confidence.
The Starfield Pier-1000B is the Starfield Optics Tri-Pier for astrophotography that delivers next-level stability and mechanical precision in a field-ready format. This is a complete redesign of the original Tri-Pier 1000, upgrading everything from the internal leg deployment system to the hexagonal center column so your portable pier feels rock-solid, smooth to use, and built for repeatable setups.
Starfield Optics Tri-Pier 1000B Key Features
Revolutionary Internal Slide System – Smooth, Silent, Repeat
Forget old-school exposed clamps and clunky hardware. The Pier-1000B uses a fully enclosed internal slide system for cleaner operation, faster setup, and long-term durability. With a smooth glide and a secure lock, the legs deploy and retract in seconds, making this Starfield Optics Tri-Pier for astrophotography ideal for travel, backyard sessions, and outreach.
Hexagonal Center Column – Rock-Solid Stability
The bold hex-core design isn’t just about looks—it’s a structural powerhouse. With six bracing angles instead of four, the Pier-1000B resists torsional flex and delivers uncompromising rigidity. When you’re running long exposures or carrying heavier imaging gear, this portable pier keeps tracking steady and your setup locked in with confidence—exactly what you want in a Starfield Optics Tri-Pier for astrophotography.
Vibration-Dampening Feet – Lock & Level Like a Pro
Each leg ends with industrial-grade, quick-adjust feet engineered to absorb vibration and stabilize on uneven terrain. The red locking collars provide instant visual confirmation that everything is locked and ready. Based on direct customer feedback, the Pier-1000B increases the adjustment range so your portable pier levels faster and holds firm on gravel, grass, or rugged ground.
Adjustment range: 90 mm (3.5”) per foot
Industrial-Grade Construction – Built for Battle
From laser-cut steel plates to precision welds and CNC-bent joints, the Pier-1000B is engineered like a tank but built with the finesse required for precision astronomy. This isn’t a tripod you’ll outgrow—it’s a long-term foundation designed to reduce vibration, withstand harsh conditions, and perform reliably wherever you set up your Starfield Optics Tri-Pier for astrophotography.
