What alternate Tripod for Telepod head & np 101?

I have a Telepod mount (about 4 years old) which I'd like to use as a light weight travel mount for my np 101 but the metal tripod isn't quite stable enough. Can you recommend a Bogen or other similar collapsible tripod which would take accept the Telepod head ? The Bogen 475 (3036) has been mentioned in some posts but it weighs 10 lbs and only folds down to 32 in, was hoping for something a bit lighter.

I think you do want the 475. I use it with a telepod head and a Pronto. I had a lighter setup (a 3021 with a Bogen 410 gear head) but the combo just didn't have enough stability for me (and the Pronto and 410 are respectively lighter than the 101 and Telepod).

I have my Sky 90 on a telepod head which sets on a Davis and Stanford Compact C tripod. It is light, is rated for 30lbs and collapses down to 22" It fits with the telepod head in the cordura nylon D&S tripod bag and is very portable. I believe their site is www.tiffen.com

Good Luck

Chris, you are perfectly correct, but the question asked for something more compact and lighter than a 3036. Mine weighs 5.4lbs, is rated for 30lbs and with the Telepod attached is less than 32" folded down. (it fits in my suitcase for air travel) It will maintain a fairly stable platform for a NP 101 if you don't fully extend the legs and view sitting down. But then again light weight grab and go setups are always a trade off.
