We used Gitzo tripods with Sachtler heads for broadcast news/ENG cameras.
They handle a heavy load and are very stable, but do not have locking
spreaders. And probably way too expensive for the antennas in question.
I've used the Buddipole tripod for both the Buddipole and the MP-1 antennas.

Mr Nyquist would be happily surprised at that. With I&Q samples at 48kS/s
each, you get a maximum of 48kHz, or one-half the total bandwidth. Not 48k+48k.
So, with a 48k sample rate, you will get plus and minus 24k from center.
