Particle Wave Monolith 10″, 32″ portable pier/tripod system, M102-24

by @ 12:23 pm. Filed under Telescope Accessories

Item No. 683-10010
Manuf. No. Particle Wave M103-32

Particle Wave Monolith 10″, 32″ portable pier/tripod system, M102-24

The Monolith Support System is not just another tripod or portable pier. It is not made up from a collection of cast parts fastened to tubing material or tubing material cut to length and welded together, nor is it extruded aluminum cut and fastened together- Monolith is 100% engineered with fully computer optimized design. It is built from the ground up to be the finest and the best looking tripod/portable pier ever offered.

The Monolith is manufactured in a state of the art CNC machine shop. It is manufactured with the finest materials and using the same technologies used in the aircraft manufacturing industry. Every part, except two stainless steel screws, are CNC machined from 6061 and 7075 aircraft quality aluminum and 17-4ph stainless steel. The top and bottom body segments are machined from 6061 aircraft quality tubing. Monolith has a modular design. The segments are joined together, not welded, using the one of the bonding agents used by NASA.

Every effort was made to make the Monolith as light as possible without sacrificing strength, rigidity and rapid damping of vibrations. For example, structural ribbing and reinforcing is machined into the legs and the segment to reduce weight without reducing strength or introducing flexure under heavy loads.

Monolith is a complete system not merely a tripod or a portable pier. There are an increasing number of accessories available to adapt the. Monolith to virtually any need whether photographic or visual observing. One example is the permanent pier column. With this accessory, Monolith is converted to a permanent pier in less two minutes, eliminating the need to have a permanent pier for observing at your home observatory and a portable tripod/pier for remote site observing. From leg lights to full index adapter to accessory table, the Monolith can be customized to fit individual viewing or imaging needs. Even without accessories, the Monolith is the most versatile tripod/portable pier available.
