Make sure you have a leg pointing south and not one leg pointing north so it takes the whole weight of the counter shaft without any risk of tipping over. Having it level helps if you need to polar align. Keeping it lower to the ground will help reduce unwanted vibrations. I have countersunk 3 bricks in the grass, then I have 3 matching rubber pads for the tripod legs.
