Hey Paul,

Thanks for the offer! I think I have it all figured out, but if I need help, I will be sure to contact you. A buddy of mine helped build a craddle to hold everything together and we put a threaded insert in the bottom of the craddle. The insert is the 1/4", just like the tripod socket on my camera. The way the insert is screwed into the craddle, the threads start about a 1/4" up inside of it so the screw on my mounting plate doesn't reach the threads. All I have to do is take the insert out, and put it upside down and I should be in business. I'll try to get it done tonight and post a pic of the entire set up.
