Slider/Tripod Set up?

[grantw]

I recently bought a 'Zaza' Slider and want to integrate it with a tripod system. I have some crappy tripod gear that I need to upgrade anyway so was wondering the best set up for a slider/tripod.

I'd like to be able to make it as mobile as possible and be able to move it from spot to spot quickly and be able to take off my camera (DSLR) quickly.

Anyone have suggestions or could share their gear/set up?

I found that having 2 small / light tripods is better then 1 good one for sliders.
I use Manfrotto 028B for my indiSlider pro. The tripod is quite sturdy and very heavy but its still very easy to tip it over when used with a slider. Having 2 tripods just feels more sturdier, even if they're cheap tripods.
My opinion anyway

I ues a Bogen/Manfrotto 3046 (you can find them on eBay for around $100.00). It's a great tripod, sturdy and adjustable. I leave the slider on it at all times and just pick it up and move as needed.
I use a 501 head on it, so I can just take the camera off and put it on the standard tripod w/503 head as they use the same plate if the need be. Never had a problem with 'tipping'...for extra safety you can add 5lb. ankle weights to the spreaders.
