Rotating the Top Plate
The ME II/MX Pyramid Portable Pier top plate has tapped holes to accept both the Paramount
ME II and Paramount MX/MX+. On the ME II/MX Pyramid Portable Pier, the Paramount
MX/MX+ can be mounted in two positions; in the center of the rotating top plate or offset so
the edge of the base plate on the Paramount MX/MX+ meets one edge of the Pyramid Portable
Pier’s rotating top plate (see
Figure 15).
Note: On Pyramid Portable Piers shipped before January 2018, to mount a Paramount M
Y
T or a
Paramount MX to the Pyramid Portable Pier top plate, a
Paramount MX Pier to Paramount M
Y
T
Adaptor Plate
is needed.

Once the top plate is level, you can adjust the mount’s position in azimuth by loosening the
clamp nut beneath the two plates and rotating the top plate. When loose, the top plate can be
rotated indefinitely.
