Hi all,

got this old but super-strong tripod on Ebay. It ends in a female thread on top of the ball. What would be a recommended way to attach a Linhof 3 camera to it? Click image for larger version.

The simplest way that came to mind would be a male-to-male adaptor (as in the below screenshot), then a quick-release mounting plate. What do you think?
