If your plonking your tripod down on grass I would recommend to find 3 pavers or bricks and set them into the ground reasonably level on some gravel or blue metal so your tripod legs have something solid to sit on otherwise your tripod and mount will sink at various times according to the weather especially in wet weather
In regard to your true south line ( SCP ) just buy a 300 x 300 or 450 x 450 concrete pad from Bunnings and sit it level on the ground centred below your tripod and you can use the solar noon meridian method to score a permanent line on it for your true south direction
You can mow over the bricks and pavers if they installed level just below the grass finished cut level
Get the idea ?
