Craig, I once went through this will aluminium tripod with an EQ5 on top, I meticulously filled and packed every leg with sand, rigged up a complex of braided cable and turnbuckles, fitted another tray (wooden) etc and at best it took 10second down to 7 or 8 of wobble.
Your best bet for tripod stability I believe are heavy wooden legs. The damping time is generally quite good with these.
Piers of course are something else and will benefit from sand.
