In my original post I suggested that you find a real camera store and go
there to put the thing together. If you don't know the terminalology (I like
that word!), you shouldn't order on-line. Most camera salespeople love to
fool around with the inventory!
The stud fits into the clamp and gives you a thread that fits into a camera,
or a light, or some other device. Super clamps are used for all sorts of
"grip" applications. You may need a #2907 Reversible Stud, which has 1/4" on
one end and 3/8" on the other. Without a Bogen catalog, I don't know off
hand. You will need a 3/8" thread to fit a tripod head.

If you have some shop equipment, you can probably adapt a C-Clamp to work in
place of the Super Clamp, then just add a tripod head. (Matthews Studio
Equipment sells C-Clamps with studs welded on them for lights.) You could
easily do something with a 3/8" bolt thru a hole in the clamp.
Go here, http://www.matthewsgrip.com/uc.html, and click "Search by Catagory"
then "Mounting Equipment and Hardware." Make sure you look at EVERY
product!!!
