This weekend im gonna try and do some video and audio. Is there a cheap way to attach my video camera to my stand? Ive seen clamps but they look to be pretty expensive. Anyway i can change some threads so itll fit?
-
clamp is gonna be your best bet, especially if you want to keep your stereo mounting with correct spacing.

I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...

if you have a bogen stand or another photo/light stand with a 1/4" 20 thread on it you won't need anything special - just put it at the top and clamp your t-bar on lower.
i've only had moderate success running my camera on top of my stand, though - there is no tilt capability. i usually velcro a cheapie desktop tripod to my stand.

another option for you- might think about picking up a monopod for your cam- much easier to work with
