leveling the telescope

I recently purchased an lx200 10" scope, my first telescope.
Leveling the scope by extending and retracting the tripod legs is time consuming and I worry about tipping over if the leg slips. Is there a procedure to this? Why doesn't someone make an adjustable tripod foot?
thanks,
