I used a tripod for several years and found that it did little or nothing for the trailer shake when moving about, and wasn't worth the set-up, take-down and storage issues. I spoke with several owners who were using landing gear braces and they were vary happy with the results. I shopped around and found several brands on the market, and finally settled on the four brace system (front only) made by "BAL". They worked just like all the others, but were about half the price. I have had them on the trailer for three years and have been very pleased. In response to the comment regarding rust, there are already a lot of holes drilled in your frame and with proper priming and sealing, four more will not create an issue.
Another thing what will help with shaking is to shorten the length of your landing gear and rear supports is by using taller blocking under them. Makes for less wiggle room.
