How can you move the origin at the base of object and not set the origin to geometry ?
(A follow-up question to this one: How can I place multiple objects on the mesh?)

2$\begingroup$ there's no automatic way to do it, select the base in Edit mode, then shift S > 3D Cursor to Selected, then back to Object mode, right click > Set Origin > Origin to 3D Cursor. Or enable the Affect Only Origin option in the Options panel on the top right of your 3D view and move the origin wherever you want $\endgroup$– moonbootsCommented Jan 3, 2021 at 15:18

Just answering based on Moonboots's comment, because I promised the OP a gif :)
- Select the base vertices
- I Edit mode go Mesh > Snap > Cursor to selected
- In Object mode go Object > Set Origin > to 3D cursor
