Hi Martin:

I picked up a used Kennert ball head to try just that.  My thought is to
screw it to the top of the existing pan head and replace the two
pan/tilt handles with short bolts with the same threads, to lock the pan
head in a horizontal position.

But I haven't gotten around to it yet.

It's a kludge but it's simpler and easier than bodging/butchering the
Tiltall. 

And besides... real men don't use tripods anyway-anyhow.
