The Meade GFT, is the 'best' tripod around for the price. I use one on my
NS11.
The latter 'CGE' tripod from Celestron, is second only to this, but is
slightly lighter.
Going away from telescope tripods, the GRP 'surveyors' tripods, sold for
the heavier laser rangefinders, are excellent, but usually require a lot
more work to adapt to a telescope. These give slightly better damping than
either of the metal surveyors tripods. Wooden tripods based on a straight
grained timber (like Ash), can also be very good.

Best Wishes
