The adapter has a 1/2" thick bottom plate for strength and vibration damping. A 1/2" hole in the center and a hole pattern to accommodate the mounting holes on the top of the Meade tripod are drilled into the bottom plate, countersunk on the inside of the adapter, for connection to a tripod or pier. Reaching inside the adapter through the top side, the adapter is bolted to the three wedge mounting holes in the top of the Meade tripod, using three user-supplied hex head bolts. The 1/2" hole in the center of the bottom plate accommodates the single threaded rod coming up through the center of the tripod. A separate user-supplied washer and nut threads onto this rod to tighten the tripod spreader bar rigidly in place and lock the tripod legs open.

There are posts to mount the HGM Titan electronics on the side of the adapter. The adapter can also be used to install a Titan mount on the top of a permanent pier, using the holes machined into the base plate of the adapter.
