Tri-Pier 1000B
Starfield Pier-1000B – Advanced Hex-Core Portable Pier
Built to outperform. Engineered to inspire confidence.
The Starfield Pier-1000B is a complete redesign of the original Tri-Pier 1000, delivering next-level stability and mechanical precision for astrophotographers and visual observers alike. Every component has been reimagined—from the internal leg deployment system to the hexagonal center column—to create a pier that’s stronger, smoother, and more field-ready than ever before.
Whether you're setting up in your backyard, traveling to a dark sky site, or building a mobile observatory, the Pier-1000B is your go-to foundation for imaging rigs, German EQ mounts or Alt/Az mounts, strainwave and harmonic drive mounts, or portable outreach setups.
This isn’t just an update. It’s a serious upgrade.
Designed, sourced, and built in North America using laser-cut steel, welded joints, and CNC-machined precision, the Pier-1000B is engineered to eliminate vibration, withstand extreme conditions, and deliver flawless performance wherever the sky takes you.
Ease of Use
Key Features
Revolutionary Internal Slide System – Smooth, Silent, Repeat
Forget old-school exposed clamps and clunky hardware. The Pier-1000B’s fully internal slide system redefines ease of setup. With a smooth glide and a secure lock, your legs deploy and retract in seconds—It’s not just cleaner; it’s smarter, tougher, and built for the long haul.
Hexagonal Center Column – Rock-Solid Stability
The bold hex-core design isn’t just about looks—it’s a structural powerhouse. With 6 bracing angles instead of 4, it crushes torsional flex and delivers uncompromising rigidity. Whether you’re running long exposures or pushing the limits with heavy imaging gear, the Pier-1000B keeps your setup locked in with laser-straight tracking and zero compromise.
Vibration-Dampening Feet – Lock & Level Like a Pro
Each leg ends with industrial-grade, quick-adjust feet engineered to absorb vibrations and stabilize your setup on any terrain. The bold red locking collars offer instant visual confirmation that you’re locked in and ready to go.
Thanks to direct customer feedback, we’ve increased the adjustment range of the legs—giving you more flexibility and control when leveling on uneven ground like gravel, grass, or rugged terrain. Whether you're setting up on a slope or a rocky field, the Pier-1000B adapts fast and holds firm.
Ease of Use
Adjustment Range: 90mm (3.5") per foot – for maximum leveling capability
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 of a master craftsman. This isn’t a tripod you’ll outgrow—it’s a lifetime investment in rock-solid astronomy.
Built Without Compromise
Designed, sourced, and built locally. Every piece of steel, every weld, every machined component is made to withstand the elements and perform flawlessly under the stars.
