Someone on the "other" board asked about putting a moving head on top of a tri-pod stand, and everyone told him it couldn't/shouldn't be done... Hogwash! I gave advise to that guy for nothing, so I figured that all you guys should get the same information (since we're better over here!).
I've done this for several years and thought I'd finally share it (damn competition is going to kill me).
I bought several base pipes from a "pipe and drape" company. You know, the stands that hold up back drop curtains at conventions. These cost me $6 each and work fantastic for this purpose. They slide right over the top of a tri-pod post or speaker stand.
All you need to do is unscrew the bolt and attach it to your fixture as shown. When I got these, I nixed the steel plate that was supplied by the company because it was very heavy. I had my own cut from my local metal supply company out of aluminum. I then drilled a hole in the center and beveled the hole to fit the bolt head.
