How to convert a camcorder tripod to a camera tripod?
Q. I have an old RCA camcorder tripod that I want to convert so I can use it with a regular digital camera. How can I do that? Is there an adapter available that I could use? If so, what is it called?
I need something to convert it so that it has the screw head thing. I have no idea what it is called, lol.

A. You don�t need to change anything. A three way head is a pan head. It pans 360deg on the z-axis, rotates left or right on the y-axis and rotates forward or back on the x-axis. Those are the three ways.
There are also 2 way pan heads which lack the front or back rotation.
The other type is a ball head or fluid head. One control adjusts everything.
The type of head is insignificant unless you want a particular type. Both types are used for video cameras and still cameras.

The main difference is a video tripod supports more weight because video cameras are larger. This means a video tripod is typically heavier than a still camera tripod. The only way you can change the weight is to buy a whole new tripod.
Edit:
From your additional comments it seems youre missing the tripod head. Heres a list of various heads

Your tripod center column needs to have a threaded post for the head to attach to. Its impossible to know if thats also missing on your tripod without a link to a photo.
You can use a ball head or a 2 or 3 way pan head. Its personal preference.
