Nope. There's not really a tripod "socket" on the pack. It's just a hole that you place a screw (supplied with the CP-E3) through and into the socket on your body. There are no threads in that hole, just a hole. I have mine screwed onto my Custom Bracket's frame. Works really nice like that but there doesn't appear to be any easy solution to your question.

Thanks for the info Mike. Assuming I connect the pack to the camera body using the camera's tripod socket, is there another tripod socket on the battery pack itself that can be used to mount the entire rig on a tripod?
