I have a Uni 24C which supports an EQ6. I bought the near new tripod off a photographer and it had the 3/8" screw mount on a flat 160mm base. I made up an adaptor plate and drilled the head so that the EQ6 fits perfectly. I use mainly it for my 106AT and have the legs extended a maximum of 15cm.
It really works well for this weight - about 8.5kgs of scope and accessories, with1 x 5kg cwt on my beefed up cwt bar.
All up cost was way less than buying new.
