A table normally has at least one tabletop and four legs. It is desirable that the table is as evenly levelled as possible and does not wobble. This means that the four legs must be very precisely measured and matched to each other. They must also fit the underground, otherwise all the precision work is useless and the table will still wobble. This is because four legs are actually one too many, and although this redundancy brings stability, it also requires more precision. Not so with a tripod: it never wobbles, no matter how uneven the surface, because there is no redundancy. But it is not as stable and it is difficult to set it up so that a flat surface is parallel to the ground at the top, i.e. without a slope. So you have a choice: flexibility or stability. Or: short-term pragmatism versus longer-term stability. Maybe you have to choose between these today - depending on the situation, one fits better.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
