A utilitarian device such as a weighted base includes a plurality of removable, folding, joinable, and adjustable leveling elements that attach along the underside surface of the base to form a tripod support. The leveling elements include interchangeable folding feet and pointed members each having threaded connections to the base individually or in series, to maintain a level orientation of the base over most surfaces. A plurality of storage clips retain and stow un-deployed leveling elements within the gap provided between the base and the ground surface. An upstanding pole attaches to the base upperside and supports an object such as a flag, umbrella, or other piece of equipment.
