Looks like all I need to do is make some kind of stand-off so I can
get the camera vertical and the field of view free of the tripod legs.

Mine doesn't have that lower leg support like yours, though, it's just
three legs with a pole down the middle and leg flair is 'stopped' by
the central hinge.

Some tripots let you take the central pole out and stick it
back in upside down. Then you place the legs straddling the
target and ...

Good suggestion. But the central pole won't come out :-(

But it might work to get another tripod head and figure out how to
mount it to the pole slide.


If you can't do that, it might work to make one leg (much)
longer so the tripod is tipped on its side holding the camera
out away from the two close in legs. You would probably
have to place a weight on the long leg to keep it from tipping
over.

That's a good possibility.
