Bunnings sells hard rubber pads - square in shape, 6cm on side, white in colour and with a dimple in the middle just the right size for EQ6 tripod feet. Cost is a few dollars. I use them on concrete or paving - they work fine for my purposes.

On grass, I use fence paling offcuts (large surface area to prevent unequal settling of the tripod). Indoors, I use wooden cups with non-scratch felt (also from Bunnings).
