I like it, simple and effective but you need to ensure that the
suspension point is the same distance from the post as the thickness
of the weight.

I like ingenious cost-free solutions to problems, but I reckon I'd go
for the post level from Screwfix at under three quid. Quicker,
easier, more accurate.

But by that time Kay, the metpost and wooden post will be in position
and it will be difficult to adjust it won't it?

I'm assuming you either use the post itself or a shorter post in the
metpost as something to wallop on.

I was going to sue those metal thingys that you stick in the top of the
metpost. Made of metal I assumed they were to protect the tops of the
metpost being savagely squashed.
