If I may make a late note on this:

I do have a big respect for Pin hole technology or antitechnology
depending on how you look at it.
I look at it Technology.
An someday plan to look into it; at least doing a show; lensless. By
lensless i mean glassless. I assume a pinhole is not a lens; a glassless
lens; but something else entirely.

That said I think what photography is all about is not the black box. 
It's the lens in front of it. And even at the turn of the previous
century it was GLASS.

GLASS GLASS GLASS

My second opinion is while some people wallow in this new funny
technique called "hand held Photography" I still think the fast runner
up to GLASS as what its "all about" is THE BEST DAMN TRIPOD YOU CAN LAY
YOUR GREEDY LITTLE HANDS ON.

The question remains: 

"How do i attach my primo GLASS to my stupendous TRIPOD?

You buy one of those black boxes.
