Tripod fitting of a Skywatcher EQ3 Pro

[neilmack]

Can anyone describe the underside of the mount? 

I am curious about fitting the head to a better and taller tripod. Does it resemble the Vixen SP/GP?

Many thanks.

The EQ3-2 Pro has the same fitting as the EQ5 and HEQ5 which are also the same as the Vixen GP I think. This is the tripod top from an EQ5:

The bolt in the centre is M10.
