Plenty of guys on the Cloudy Nights forum just pour a concrete pier - less vibration transfer and usually cheaper. You would still need an adjustable top plate/mount adaptor. A square footing with a cardboard form tube and a bit of reo is all you need to DIY. You can mix the concrete yourself in a wheelbarrow but don't use quickset post concrete, you want structural stuff. I plan on doing one of these in a few months.
