I have a dish that has folding tripod legs that stands a ground level but the company are no longer trading.

We now stream TV via firestick tethered to our phone but when we used to use satellite, we had a standard small dish, the same as the sort sky used to fit, and a separate tripod.

The trouble with that type of tripod is the legs don't appear to be separately adjustable so it has to be on level ground, it can make it difficult to align the dish if it isn't level.

I use a flat dish and tripod similar to this one https://www.reimo.com/en/camping-shop/camping-tv-satellite-and-multimedia-systems/kathrein-satellite-systems/11288/antenna-set-hds-166?c=1130
Being flat there is less risk of damage
