The AP portable pier has quite a bit of adjustment range using the turnbuckles for leveling the top plate.
Don - I was going to mention the slight leveling capability, but it is not relevant to the OP (fixed wood Tak tripod) and is tangential to the topic.
Fwiw, I find using the turnbuckles only gives me a tiny amount of movement.
In the 15 years I’ve been setting up the portable pier w/ AP1200 at a location for public outreach the pavement is never flat enough and I need a shim. I’ve given up on the turnbuckles, and just shim it. Much faster setup time.

Fwiw... I use an AP portable pier which does not have level adjustment. I’m more concerned with weight imbalance but I also prefer a level pier when imagining.
So... I level the pier with a plastic bubble level (or iPhone measure app) and some thin hardwood “shims” under one (or two) of legs as needed.
