Anyone know where I can get a good tripod for sale? I was thinking if copper doesn't sell them, is there any other websites or sales places that carry them for a good price?

Ive got a avanti sigma 4 up on a 10' section and the overall lenth of the antenna is almost 30' and my tripod holds up well.. Its a 5' tripod and i have the legs bolted with 12" long bolts right through the roof and held in place with 2x4s and huge 2" diameter washers and doubled up nuts in the attic side.
