Meade Standard Field Tripod for G11?

I find the G11 tripod a bit awkward to set up in the field so wouldn't mind getting a Meade tripod to support the G11...

Will the Meade standard feld tripod (supplied w/ LX200 8" and 10" models) adequately support a G11 or is it too small... Your thoughts? Is the giant field tripod the only way?

BTW.. this will support an Orion 8" f/5 Newt. ota...

Thanks for your thoughts...

Joe
