I need a replacement quick release mount for my Canon 40D, And I need to know the size of the screw mount.

Is it 1/4" or 3/4"?
 
The thread is 1/4 - 20. That means it's 1/4 , but without the "20" the thread will not line up & strip when you try to use it. Now, this only matters if you go to the Hardware store to rig something.

If you go to a camera store, the brand of tripod or model of the head will be the important information. Without that, the 1/4" won't matter.
