Mounting a kestrel 2000 to a mini tripod

[Akeld]

What would you recommend, I don't really want to devcon a 1/4"UNC nut to it, I'm thinking along the lines of a bodged car phone holder, anyone with a better and neater method?? ( pictures appreciated) Thanks

Get the dedicated holder, save bodging the Kestrel.

Ingenious.

I went for the ultra lightweight detachable version-a dab of blutac and a silk ribbon,colour matched to the kestrel,of course.
