Tripod recommendation

I have the EQ8 with the standard pier, which is perfect for imaging in the field but way too low for visual use. Does anyone know if of a tall tripod sturdy enough to take the EQ8 head and 152mm refractor? It doesn't need the same stability as I do for imaging of course but still shouldn't be flimsy. The pier in my observatory is about 5ft tall and yields an acceptable height for visual use, even though I don't do so typically due to light pollution. I want something I can take to observing nights where people don't have to lie on the ground to look at anything above 30 degrees!
