a copy of my reply to similar question...
For the Star adventurer for travel I use an old Manfrotto solid top 3/8 inch fixed bolt tripod with a large alloy disc top to match the SA wedge , with extendable 25mm stainless legs. Big Butterfly screw leg locks. Very sturdy yet portable for plane travel. Then you can add a head for other uses. The cheaper light Manfrotto are no where near sturdy enough for any kind of large lense let alone a star adventurer.
In the backyard , bolt it to a telescope tripod.
Can’t imagine taking a survey tripod on a plane , even checked , and the SA plus camera and lenses with iPad and a book ( not the nikkor 800) go in a carry on. Just.
