A high end photographic tripod would probably work but it will be difficult to make small tracking adjustments. So a proper astronomical mount would be much better.
An EQ2 mount would just about manage a scope of that size however an EQ3-2 would be a lot more stable and have the advantage that you can either get a goto version initially or upgrade at a later date.
If you are on a tighter budget and/or don't want an equatorial mount then something like a Celestron Heavy Duty Alt/Az Tripod or Skywatcher AZ3 Alt Az Mount would be suitable.
All of the mounts mentioned are available from numerous online retailers but shop around as prices can vary.
