10Micron GM1000 / AZ1000 Half Pillar The 10Micron 10M1012 half pillar raises the mount by 130 mm to increase clearance between the optics and tripod or pier. This is particularly useful for long optical tubes whose rear accessories can approach the supporting legs.

The 10Micron 10M1012 half pillar raises the mount by 130 mm to increase clearance between the optics and tripod or pier. This is particularly useful for long optical tubes whose rear accessories can approach the supporting legs.
The component is CNC-machined aluminium with a black-anodised finish. It is directly compatible with the GM1000 HPS. The AZ1000 HPS needs the dedicated 10M1120 adapter; native GM compatibility does not imply direct AZ compatibility.
10Micron recommends the 10M1072 extended control-box-to-mount cable because the half pillar increases separation between the mount head and electronics. The pillar is a clearance accessory; it does not increase the mount’s instrument payload rating.
