This is an old problem for photographers, too; particularly with view
cameras.
If the main problem is in the tripod proper, you can try to change the
resonant frequency of the structure by hanging a gear bag on it
somewhere, or perhaps running a bungee cord around the legs.
If it's happening at the boom/tripod junction you might try feeding a
loop of wire from the boom end, where you can attach a bungee cord (or
maybe a leather bootlace -less elastic) tied back to the tripod, to put
a little tension on it.
Life Photographer, Andreas Feinenger built a 'penta-pod' for the
purpose. I was a bi-pod, attached with balls and sockets to two of the
tripod legs and the top yoke of it was attached near the end of the lens
or view camera frame.
