I have the Kessil A360XE and the screw that goes into the inserts for mounting broke off. I've tried locking pliers and extractor screws to remove it but with no luck. So I'm trying to find an alternative way to hang this light.

I do have the hanging ring that screws into the center of the light so I want to find a way to utilize that instead of the mount.

Ideally I'm looking for:
  • A mount that attaches directly to the tank or stand (I'd rather avoid ceiling or wall mounting if possible)
  • Something with a hook, eyelet, or other attachment point that I can hang the threaded ring from
I've tried looking for something that can mount to the tank and has something the hanging ring can attach to but I'm having trouble finding anything that fits that's not a tall stand.

I use a camera swivel mount and bought some 1/4(female) to m5(male) adapters and mounted mine on 8020 with some drop studs. You can get a set of camera mounts from amazon for $8 and set of 4 adapters for about the same price. Kessil sells the swivel mounts for $30 or $40. I can make plenty for that amount.
