Don't even think of putting a scope on a camera tripod if you want a steady image. Camera tripods are simply not made to support anything like a telescope and even if you did get the scope on one the results would be very disappointing.

As for suggestions for "proper" mounts, you could make a simple dob mount for the scope or buy a suitable GEM. I think I would have a serious play with the dob mount as its cheaper and much simpler to set up which would make the scope a great grab and go scope.

Good luck.
