Kits for Making Piers
Post Pods
Post Pods are designed for mounting to a standard 4-inch or 6 inch post or setting into concrete.
The post Pod 90 are for 4″ posts the Post Pod 150’s are for 6″ posts.
In each group there are different types;
The standard model has a 1/4-20 stud. This size is the standard for photographic, video and many other types of small head units. A good example of a head is our Dyna Cradle DC-100 or the Universal Astronomic’s Telescope and Binocular Mounts.
The ETX units are designed to hold the Meade ETX family of telescope (ETX-60 to ETX-125). They come with a pair of T-screws to attach the telescope quickly to the pod.
The great advantage of using a Pod over a tripod is that you can take advantage of the “Park” mode and save yourself the trouble of going through the alignment process every time you set up the telescope.
Attaching two screws is faster than setting up a tripod.
The next type is the N model for the smaller Celestron NexStar telescopes that have a center 1/4-20 threaded hole.
The kit comes with a 1/4-20-wing screw to hold it down. They can also be used for anything you can hold down with a 1/4-20-wing bolt, such as a camera.
They are also available with a 3/8-16 stud on special order.
We will also make custom pods; if enough interest is generated in other models we will bring them out as a standard products. Construction
The Pods are constructed of 11-gauge stainless steel (1/8 inch thick), a high strength and rustproof alloy and with stainless steel screws.
They will stand up to almost any type of weather short of hurricanes and tornadoes.
The installation screws for holding down the Pods have a special head that requires a special bit to install or remove.
Each kit comes with one of these bits and six screws.
This is for your protection. If you install a Pod out in the wild somewhere, someone else cannot easily remove it and take it home.
Any 1/4″ hex drive bit holder or socket wrench will take the bit.
The Post Pod 90’s are 3.5 inches wide; to accommodate standard 4 inch fence posts. Yes, a 4 inch fence post actually measures 3.5 inches.
They can also be set in a concrete tube form to make a pier.
Post Pod 150 fit 6″ post. Some 6″ posts are only 5 ½”, you will need to use a shim for these.
The height inside of the Pod is 3.5 inches, to allow you to reach under it to adjust the mounting screws.
Polar alignment
The Post Pods can be mounted at almost any angle. By aligning the post North/South and tilting the Pod to your latitude,
you can polar align your system and do not need a wedge. |
