<< I was wondering if there was some kind of attatchment I can get
 to permenantly mount to my current tripod so I can switch the Bogen head
 back and forth between the tripod and the chair "tripod"? >>


I looked at your photos and it appears to be the same as my Slik InstaLok 500 
or something or other. I broke it down to what I see in your photo 4th from 
the top where there is this sort of mushroomy thing that the tripod attached 
to.  There I stopped and put the regular head back on. You would have to add 
some type of 3/8 or 1/4" bolt upside down into the shaft for the head. It 
looks as though your Bogen head takes the 3/8" size but even it you use 1/4 
you can easily buy a Bogen adapter to fix this problem. I would keep on 
looking for another lightweight tripod as adapting you present one might be 
too costly. I have heard that Vivitar makes an OK inexpensive and light 
tripod.

Good luck

Warren
