Wooden theodolite tripods are relatively cheap but weigh close to 20lbs.
The old Pentax M42 1000mm f8 came with something like this.

It was a Manfrotto carbon fiber base with and Induro BH3 ballhead.
My house has been declared off limits for Manfrotto tripods, many
years ago. They all wobble in the wind when I use them near the North
Sea. Their legs bend around the vertical axis of the tripod. I call it
the Manfrotto Twist.
Get yourself a decent wooden tripod. Something like this:

That's the model I've been using for the last 15 years. It lives in
the boot of my car all year and I wouldn't want anything else.
