This mount has limited slow motion movement, and has to be locked in azimuth to obtain that slow motion control. I suggest you make your own wood tripod for it. I use the Vixen one but have fixed the height at half way up and used through bolts in the legs to gain more rigidity.
I should add that the altitude should be set at such tension that the mount will swing up and down in altitude with a firm push. It should then hold so you can use the slow motion control.

Thank you for that. I saw a few adaptors having had a second look but want something not only locks to the thread but also slides in for a secure lock.
