The bolt in the picture is a hanger bolt. Use a 3/8 16 for a tripod head.

I have this head with the indexable option. Makes it easy if you want to mount a camera or a long lens.

If you ever do stitched panoramas using a tripod this head might be a better Option.

Acratech Panoramic Head can be used like a Long Lens Head
