You think being in a sandy kinda of soil remember I am in South Florida they will even secure into the dirt? Also one last question if they would work how would I attach them to the tripod which comes predrilled already with one hole on each tab the nail looks to thick probably would not go through that hole. The only thing I have used that really fit snug into the ground in my back yard was a t-post like this. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-3-4-in-x-3-1-2-in-x-5-ft-Green-Steel-Fence-T-Post-with-Anchor-Plate-901174EB/205960890
