Since the tripod mounting block is a bit small, I have an issue getting it to really lock down on my existing tripod heads. Would have loved something as clever as the Sinar pan tilt head with its three-point connection to the tripod mount, but I guess there was never anything else for the SC.

The camera is going to be schlepped outdoors. I am thinking a bit more low-profile than the Manfrotto 229, for example.
