Hi
I had an EQ5 mount once with aluminium legs which would just wobble incessantly. I did consider using sand but remembered high school physics... As a last resort, I tried using expanding gap filler and messed it up by trying to do it too quickly, with the result that it did not cure properly (sigh). I think if you use this approach, you need to do small sections at a time, let them dry then add more.
As I did not have much success with the spray filler, I moved to option 2 and tossed the legs away and made a replacement set using some hardwood and the components from the aluminium legs. The result was a very stable tripod/mount. The 5-10+ seconds of wobble dropped to about 1-2 seconds.
Just my 2 cents...
