Telrad 4" Riser Base

Elevate Your Telrad for Easier, More Comfortable Viewing

The Telrad 4" Riser Base is a simple but incredibly helpful upgrade for users of the popular Telrad reflex finder. Designed to raise your Telrad four inches above your telescope’s optical tube, this riser improves ergonomics and viewing comfort—especially on larger scopes where the finder often ends up in awkward positions.

This riser base installs between your existing Telrad finder and its mounting base. It adds four inches of vertical clearance, making it easier to get your eye behind the finder without craning your neck or contorting your body. If you use a Dobsonian or any other scope where the finder ends up low on the tube or in tight spaces, this spacer can make a big difference in usability.

The 4" riser is made of sturdy black plastic to match the Telrad's original design. It slides into your existing Telrad base using the same dovetail-style mount, so no tools are required for installation. Once attached, your Telrad locks in securely, just as it would directly on the telescope.

The Telrad 4" riser base is also stackable with the 2" riser or other risers for those needing even more height. Whether you’re star hopping near the zenith or just want a more comfortable observing position, this riser is a simple and effective solution.

Compatibility: Fits any standard Telrad base. Telrad finder and mounting base not included.

I also have the older

"I also have the older model Telrad 4" riser, and I was afraid that this new model being made a little different wouldn't be as strong. It does appear to be a lttle flimsy, but it's not. It is slightly lighter (a good thing) than the older model, yet works well and holds the Telrad finder very steady."

"The actual product appears a little different from what is pictured but it does the same thing. It allows you to sight through the Telrad without having to twist you head into an awkward position. I find it to be a worthwhile purchase."

Nice addition to my Telrad on my 12" Dob

"I recently added a Telrad to my Dob. Works Great, but I wanted a little better viewing angle, so I picked up this 4" extension. Seems to bring the Telrad into a more comfortable position for use."

My husband needs it

"We have several Telrad finders for our scopes, and my tall husband needs the risers to use the Telrad comfortably. Sometimes, using a Telrad with a Dobsonian scope involves unusual body contortions. Highly recommended if you have a shorter tube Dobsonian."
