pier top design

Settle lads!
the issue with me is the levelling to make it easier to align. I agree that having it level to start with makes life a whole lot easier.
My problem is the concrete footing is going under the deck on sloping ground, so I anticipate some movement and some difficulty establishing level to start with - even getting a level concrete top will be a headache as access is a crawl space under the deck or a 450mm square hole in the deck 1 metre above soil level.
And to be honest- any improvement in what I have now- a tripod on a bouncy deck, will be worth it. So I am not after nil resonance or vibration or torsion etc! I just want something that will not loose guiding stars or ruin lights if I sneeze or move my elbow 1 micron to the left!
Cheers
Graham
