What tripod do you use for your chronographs?

The one I have is a bit flimsy and I am looking for one that is a bit more sturdy without breaking the bank.

Thanks for your inputs

I have a cheap tripod from walmart that I hang a small sandbag weight from the center tube down to the ground for stability. Works GREAT. height adjustment was the main consideration. Tripods can get ridiculously expensive real quick if you need one that is vibration resistant and adjustable. You don't need that for a chrony. Besides, get one that you wouldn't be too pissed about if you shot it. It happens.
I just saw the one mrw posted. Perfect. Has the hook on the centerpost to hang a weight. Mine is like that.

I use an inexpensive camera tripod also and use a couple sandbags to keep it from blowing over if it's slightly windy.

I use a super cheapy that came with a Russian spotting scope years ago.

For a cheaper new model, I would just go with the Amazon reference.
