There are some strong tripods that would do well at that height, like the NEQ6. Portable or field piers by their nature are heavy and still require legs that extend. I know of one fellow here that toured Australia with a EQ8 in his caravan storage, which sits on a field pier. The Advanced Telescope Systems portable pier might suit you, the smallest 8" one is 30" (762mm) high but its something like $2000usd then add shipping. You could get a local fabricator to make you one but that's going to cost. Any reason it has to be a pier? Can you make it yourself but just need plans?
