Since the photo i have shortened the pier and repositioned the wire braces lower to allow the weights and ota to miss them when near the zenith. Doesn't move.

Thanks for sharing that idea. I'm leaving the feet and leg design to last, and with everyone's input, will help to create the final supports.
