shoot me for digging up an old topic, but i've partially solved my dilemma...
you know what they say, necessity breeds invention, and this weekend i'm planning to climb mt warning for the sunrise on sunday morning, and short of carryign a tripod the whole way up, i needed another solution.
Step 1, purchase a ball headed tripod mount, the one i got was fairly cheap (comparitively!) at $70
Step 2, purchase an IRWIN quickgrip clamp and appropriate 1/4" bolts/nuts/washers
Step 3, drill appropriate holes and assemble mountings.
i've attatched two photos.
surprisingly, this is pretty darn strong!
