Just got back from the hardware store with materials to build a stand! This is a "big" deal for me because I don't have any trees in my yard... Hopefully will be able to finish it soon, and I'll post pictures when finished.
The side legs of the tripod can't be cranked completely tight because they have to pivot, so I had been using lock washers or lock nuts but it's still kind of iffy because they have to stay loose to a point.
On this recent pair of I remembered the miracle that is Loctite.

Doogie I outlined how I do these in this post.
Some like a wider stance on the tripods but this method works for me. I've made the legs between 6' and 6'6" or so and for indoor stands I put rubber feet on them. See my gallery for more pictures.
Cheers,
