I slung a heavy weight (5 kg anvil) under mine to keep it stable. Made up a wire bridle and a snap hook. Makes a difference to vibration and accidental knocking when moving the scope etc. I'd send mine over as I no longer use it but I suspect shipping might be a bit expensive.

One of the Aus dealers had a good sale going on a few months ago. Cross your fingers and hope they do it again or you could advertise on here for one. I bought another scope recently that came with very good A\Z tripod which is now just sitting in the lounge as the scope is up on the EQ6 with the rest of them. I got it with the 80mm f11.3 as a long f\l guider and planetary scope.

So you might find someone with a 'leftover' who would be happy to let it go at a reasonable price.
