Or, for a few $ more, one of these portable piers from AOE. It may be height adjustable. If not, just hack a bit off the tube.

Heavy Duty pier stand with two section steel post making it adaptable for either Newtonians, Refractors or Catadioptrics. Stands 1.25m high, 108mm tubing diameter, wide 1.1m base diameter and large polished aluminium touch pads.
AOE-PS - Heavy Duty Pier Stand - less than $200


Just another alternate idea.
