Surveyor’s tripod

I was wondering of anyone has ever mounted their scope on an aluminum surveyor’s tripod. They are really cheap, compared to a lot of telescope tripods out there. And I haven’t dealt with one first hand, but they seem real sturdy too. I would think they would have to be with all the precise equipment surveyors’ use. I have a modified Teegull mount for a FS-78 I was thinking of trying to mount on one. If anyone has attempted this before I would love the advice.
