any good suggestions for a heavy duty tripod that can hold the XH-A1's, my previous one is to weak and the camera wobbles on it whenever you touch it.

There's a relatively cheap Pearstone on Amazon. It supported my Sony HVR-HD1000u for quite some time.

Bogen 3036 from craigslist or ebay. You can get the legs for around $120-200. The current day equivalent is the Manfrotto 475B, which runs $340. I've had mine for 20 years and it's still rock solid.

You'll need a suitable video head as well-don't be afraid to buy used if you can test it out ahead of time. Most pro level equipment is built to last.

You likely won't get a GOOD tripod + head for $150 although you might get something passable.

What are you going to do with the tripod and camera?[DOUBLEPOST=1368673752,1368673494][/DOUBLEPOST]This is probably THE best tripod and head combo you can get under $200. I've tried this one myself. I upgraded to a set of manfrotto legs later on that were a little heavier and sturdier but this set is definitely good. The ball head is amazing for the price.
Can't link so just type these into google.
Legs: Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT Aluminum Tripod
Head: SBH-100 Ball Head

I think this will run you $170'ish.
