I often see a recommendation to get a "sturdy Tripod" for a tracker mount such as a Star Adventurer.

What do people consider a "sturdy Tripod" to actually be?

I have considered surveyor tripods, using a CG5 set of legs and actually currently use a set of pretty heavy duty aluminum tripod legs due to portability considerations.

Interested in what other people's thoughts are on the subject?
