I'd recommend using the tripod mount at the bottom of the Televit's hand 
grip, and optimally a gimbal head like the Wimberley.  The Wimberley allows 
you to raise the fore/aft pivot point to the GC of the lens/camera 
combination.  It's bulky and priced like Leica equipment but IMHO it's the 
optimal solution.
