good tripod?

Super8 cameras use the same screw mount that current consumer grade cam-corders and still cameras use. So basically any tripod will work. Though if you plan on doing any panning or tilting whilst filming, you'd do best to get a nice sturdy one with a fluid head. Expect to pay $150 or more for a good one.
Manfrotto is a good choice.

Lol I should know the exact screw thread for most cameras... my steadygrip Ive been sourcing for I should know this.
I think its 1/4-20 thread. This is standard. There is the possibility of a larger size like my k3 is but this is a standard bolt size too.
If its 1/4-20, the same as practically every camcorder made for a few decades, then you're in good shape.
Basically what you want is a fluid head and personally I dont like the latch type tighteners, because Ive had many fail on me after a short period of time. I prefer the screw type. Sturdy legs is also a strong thing to look for.
There are certainly brand names like bogen to look for but really what you are looking for is what I mentioned above.
