Which Quality, Heavy-Duty Tripod to Purchase for Trimble Robot?

I love the Leica GST120-9 legs. They're not cheap but they hold up well and are convenient to use.?ÿ I don't remember the brand off the top of my head but I was using a set of legs that was fiberglass or some other composite material with an S6 maybe 10 years ago and all of a sudden the setup started vibrating to beat hell.?ÿ Something about the servos or compensators hitting the harmonic frequency of the composite material in the legs.?ÿ Scared the crap out of me but never happened again after I switched back to wood.?ÿ?ÿ

I used a Tri-Max for several years, but I found the Leica GST120 to be smaller, lighter and at least as stable.?ÿ I run a GeoMax Zoom 80 on it.

Another vote for the Leica GST120-9s.?ÿ?ÿ

In some circumstances the Dutch Hill tripods will do the harmonic vibration. It's usually difficult steep setups. When I'm traversing I'm standing there so I squeeze the leg slightly and that dampens it.

Another vote for the Leica wooden tripods.

I have had a Tri Max for almost 13 years and it still works fantastic, and is super stable with an S6.?ÿ I am not familiar with the others because I haven't had a reason to try another one out.?ÿ It would seem that being a little heavy would help with stability.

Trimax would be my second choice - in some applications my first. Very rugged, very stable. The composite material expands with heat more than the wood of the Leica's does.  

The GST120-9 is great. I just wish it had a secondary leg lock.

I too love the Tri-Max for anything robotic.

I have been using Dutch Hill Tripods for 21 years and love them. But they do not play well with Trimble's MagDrive.?ÿ
