Definitely add gussets - the bigger the better. My pier was about 1.3m tall 140 mm diameter 5mm steel on a 45cm square base - all mig welded and bolted to concreted into a 160 kg lump of cement. Surprisingly this had alot of vibration compared to the tripod that came with the CG5. Filling the pier with sand didn't help either so I welded four 10cm by 8mm 1.1 metre tall gussets - now I have zero vibration. It was chalk and cheese once the gussets were added.
