The best tripod I have seen is owned by Rich Ditch, who can occaisionally be 
seen right here on the net.  It was (I beleive) a Bogen Tripod (sorry, no
model no.).  It had flip lock legs, and could be fitted with a quick release
head, making it ideal for for picture taking, or multiple scope mounts.  If
your there Rich, maybe you could comment.

One suggestion. DO NOT buy a scope with screw legs.  They are hell! 
(I know, I own one).
