I'm using Takahashi EM-200 wood tripod for my FTX v2 and I even tried a 5" refractor on it, all good. The best thing to use a Tak wood tripod is there is you can use one additional screw to fix the TQR on top of the tripod and I always feel only one 3/8 screw is not sufficient to support a heavy telescope. I attached two photos to show this. The shortcoming is the Tak tripod is long and heavy. I also attached a photo to compare it with my AP Traveler soft case.
