Step 7Tripod head mount
The attachment of the tripod head is pretty straight forward.
1) Drill two 1/4" holes in one side of the angle bracket to match the ones in the hinge bracket.
2) Drill one 1/4" hole in the other side to match the one on the tripod head.
NOTE: I had to attached a counter-weight on the camera end of the mount (using a couple of pipe fitting parts (an end cap and a reducer), but this will depend on how closely you match the spring tension to offset the weight. To attach the counter weight I drilled a 1/4" hole in the end cap fitting and attached it with a slightly longer hinge bolt.
