I took a 2" x 2" piece of 3/8" pine I had lying around, drilled a
3/8" hole through it, pressed in a 1/4-20 T-Nut into the hole and
epoxied the whole thing to the bottom of the Full-View. The
advantage of doing it this way is you end up with a nice flat base
for your tripod head to mount up against.
