Practicality of footers to isolate turntables.

Hallo everyone. I've just acquired my most recent tt/arm upgrade, and it's a keeper for life. As with all things audio, it's now time to tweak.
I've been getting into the concept of footers to isolate and drain unwanted vibrations, and Equarack stuff fits my budget nicely (Wave Kinetics/Magico just too pricey). However I can't see how the concept works with a tt that has a separate motor pod, surely there are balance issues for a start that don't apply to large boxes like amps etc.
My tt has three spiked feet which obv. can accommodate a footer each, but the motor pod is separate, triangular in plan, 5"-6" each side with slightly assymetric weight distribution.
Any solutions to this conundrum?

Buconero, would that I spent $150k. Not quite sure where I mentioned this in my thread. Actually v. tempted to go down the Minus K route. At this point the tt is the only device I need to isolate maximally, and the BM 8 platform at $2750 may be the ticket.
Needfreestuff, thanks, will check out Edensound.
Elizabeth, not sure a shelf between footers and component doesn't negate the effect of them, but tt and separate motor sure makes it difficult to use them directly.
