About this product
Track through the meridian without worrying about your optics colliding with a tripod leg. The Sky-Watcher Extension Tube for the HEQ5-R Pro lifts your mount head by 220mm, providing essential clearance for longer telescope tubes and imaging trains. Precision-engineered from rigid machined alloy, it gives you the physical breathing room needed for uninterrupted astrophotography and comfortable visual viewing right up to the zenith.

Unrestricted Sky Access
Long refractors, bulky Newtonians, and extensive camera trains frequently strike standard tripod legs during overhead tracking. By elevating the entire mount head assembly 220mm, this pier extension eliminates awkward clearance issues near the meridian. You can track continuous exposures deep into the zenith without manual intervention or aborted imaging runs.
Rigid Machined Engineering
Adding height should never come at the cost of structural stability. Constructed from heavy-duty machined alloy, the extension adds a solid 3kg to the setup, suppressing flexure and maintaining fast damping times. It slots directly between your tripod and the HEQ5-R Pro mount head via integrated M12 threads, requiring no workshop modifications.
Full-Range Overhead Clearance Gain an extra 220mm of vertical separation between your payload and tripod legs, safeguarding delicate imaging hardware and long optical tubes.
Key Features
220mm Height Extension – Adds critical clearance to prevent long optical tubes and camera gear from fouling tripod legs.
