turns out that I don't have a decent picture of the set-up. The only photo I could find which included the bike set up as described needs such heavy cropping that it can't be shown clearly. I have seen on the web various things people have rigged up for putting backpacks on bikes. This is a clever-looking commercial combination: < http://www.tout-terrain.de/2/products/panniers---racks/mountainbike-touring/ index.html> You could probably lash the tripod to the backpack quite easily.
