The tripod legs are made from steel. I'm mounting a panoramic mirror
underneath for use with a robot. I would like to avoid any permanent
method in case I need to modify it.

Thanks

Sounds like a job for hotglue, those glue sticks you melt. You can build up
the material for a good hold, but tear it all out later. It is ugly,
