To attach the quick release plate to the argo holder I made a ply mounting plate stained to match the base.
Total cost: $29 (I had all parts except the ball head). The ball head is 100% aluminium, and I think its a bargain at $29. |
Hi Dave,
Love the elegant solution you provided by using the tripod ball head.
I actually went to the trouble of modeling a simple ball head for use in the raytraced image before I
saw the type you used. Ironically the camera viewpoint I chose for the image I posted obscured it anyway.
But you can imagine it is there.
