The op stated
“sturdy Tripod" for a tracker mount such as a Star Adventurer.”
So that is a concise definition of sturdy for a purpose.
A Travel mount that can travel , ie. carry on baggage ,but will reliably support a Star adventurer. My answer is a 25mm leg stainless steel tripod with a fixed 3/8. Bolt in an alloy plate about 60mm 75mm diameter. A standard manfrotto extra heavy duty camera tripod without the head . Get one second hand for very little. I also use a three way Manfrotto head on the same tripod that will perfectly support more than 6kg of equipment or the same tripod will support a giro 2 with two 3kg balanced weights at 2/3 height as long as it is visual use.
