One solution would be a piece of metal with countersunk holes over 2 of
the other holes in the lens, to mount it to the lens, and a hole at your
perfect balance point threaded for the tripod. The US 'standard' tripod
thread in the is 1/4-20. If your tripod or monopod has an option for the
heavier duty (European std) size of 3/8-16, you could tap and thread the
adapter for that for a more secure and durable attachment.

Also the tripod mount/handle threads on one of the holes (there are four
tripod holes--this one just happens to be the one with the best balance
point) are stripping out. I guess a handle/tripod mount would be asking too
much--how best to fix? Perhaps some sort of helicoil? (What is the thread
for tripod mounts anyway?)
