Tripod for 8x10 Deardorff

I've been using Induro Alloy 8M AT413 legs with a Manfrotto 229 head. Not too heavy, holds the 'dorff like a boss, and extends so far up I need a stepstool.

I had that tripod previously; good tripod for the money, and very sturdy, but I always had a slight wobble when using it with the 229 head.
The locking pin on the centre column's base would never quite tighten fully to the bottom of the 229's base.

Bummer. I've had zero issues with the combo.
