Don't know the thread pitch, but the best advice I have is to buy a filter and take it with you when you go to purchase your remote mount.. If you're buying it online, I guess that wouldn't work..

the ghetto solution is go to the hardware store like Home Depot and find a bot that fits. That will give you the thread. The pitch....umm....? what is pitch again? depth? im tired so i apologize but it really should only be the thread and the depth of the hole in the filter which is also very easy to do at a hardware store. Plus, you dont have to buy anything to find out.

Little addition, if theres an Ace Hardware nearby go to them before you go to the Depot. Better selection, better lighting, better labeling, shorter lines, great help.
