Aha, you got an arca-swiss clamp with 1/4-20 threads on it! It took me
a bit to figure out what you meant. I could attach one of those to one
of my tiltall tripods.
It also seems that I might be able to make a fairly sturdy adapter to
mount my big Induro ball head to the tiltall, and I'd be able to use the
tilt-pan of the tiltall to easily level the base of the ballhead.

Subject: Mounting a phone or tablet to a camera? Also tripod heads
A lot of times when playing with astrotracer, I can't exactly see what
I'm aiming at with my bare eye, and particularly not through the
viewfinder. I've gotten close by using the google skymap app on my
phone, holding it up to the back of my camera and using that to aim
close enough to see the object in images and dial things in tighter.
I've got an adapter for mounting a green laser to my hot shoe. I'd love
to have something similar for holding my smartphone. Does anyone know
of something existing?
Mind you what I'd really like is to be able to install google sky map on
my camera and use its gps, accelerometer and display for aiming.
In a similar vein. fine adjustments using a ball head are a titch
touchy. My old manfrotto three axis heads allowed me to adjust one axis
at a time, but I can't find any of those in Arca Swiss. Are there any
decent three axis arca swiss heads that will hold a large lens and not
cost several hundred dollars?
