Default Best camera *platform* for moon pictures?

ScopeTronix, Orion, and Lumicon offer devices that clamp to the telescope
and have a little platform onto which the camera is mounted. The first two
clamp to the eyepiece, but eyepieces vary considerably in height and
diameter, possibly limiting their clamping ability... The Lumicon one clamps
to the focusing tube. Does anyone have an opinion on which would work best?
My little Nikon 3200 weighs about 9 ounces with the batteries.
