What's a good PST mount?

Hello,

I just received my own PST a week ago. I have only had a couple of chances to use it so far and it looks like it is going to be fun to use. I put it on a camera tripod that I had and find that it is not adequate to the task, primarly because it is so awkward to do fine adjustments in altitude.

What kind of mount are folks finding works well for the PST, particularly with regards to stability, tracking (manual is OK), and portability?
