dang, that thing is nuts. 440lbs. someone could rip your fender off if they pull on it. if you dont do it i porbably will. i might anyway for 10 bones. my idea would be to just dirll a hole in the middle, and get one of those ball joint camera mounts to bolt on. BAM you got a sticky pod
And you could bolt on a platform and sit on it. if you weight <400lbs
i played with my tripod a little to see what kind of angles you can get and i dunno. i think it would be pretty limiting. i might just ask for one for xmas
