I use a good camera tripod with the setup I made. Since I also do photography it was on hand. If you get a cheap camera tripod, I am sure you will have issues of some sort. A good heavier tripod is great, it will keep from tipping over. You can see my arrow antenna rig on tripod on my QRZ page.

The one time I used a tripod it collapsed causing the coax to act like a whip launching the radio to the ground.
That said, a regular camera tripod should work.
