Thanks, Leo. I discovered this shortly after sending the note below but hadn't seen the video. At $20 this might be the best solution.

My Canon mount Tamron 20-40 is still amongst the missing.  When shooting the sale photos 
for my house I really missed it since my E-M5 doesn't go wider than 12(24)mm.  But I'm very 
reluctant to spend $699 for the mZuiko 9-18mm lens.  I rarely use such a wide angle. If I'm 
shooting landscape and need a wider angle I shoot panos at 12mm.  That's easy with distant 
subjects but tough for shooting inside a room.  An inexpensive solution is a pano head such 
as the Panosaurus <http://gregwired.com/pano/Pano.htm>.  However the Panosuarus 
description makes clear <http://gregwired.com/pano/Pano.htm> that it does not support 
off-center tripod mounts on the camera.

So what solutions are available to solve the off-center mount of my E-M5 or 
(possible) E-M1?
