Thread Adapter

The Avid C0988 adapter connects 1/4"-20 male threads to 5/8"-27 female threads. It allows cameras and recorders to mount on standard microphone stands. The nickel brass construction weighs 12 grams. One piece is included.

Use Case

Suits photographers and audio engineers who need to attach photo-threaded gear to mic stands. Not for users requiring a clamp mechanism or a different thread pitch than the 20 and 27 specifications.

Critical Spec

The defining specification is the 1/4"-20 male to 5/8"-27 female thread conversion. This exact pairing determines whether your microphone stand and accessory are compatible with the adapter.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the C0988 adapter or a different thread size?

The C0988 converts a 5/8"-27 microphone stand thread to a 1/4"-20 camera thread, so choose it when your stand uses the larger thread and your device needs the smaller one.

What does the 1/4"-20 to 5/8"-27 conversion actually let me mount?

It lets you attach cameras, recorders or other 1/4"-20 gear onto a standard 5/8"-27 microphone stand.

How do the 5/8"-27 and 1/4"-20 threads limit what I can connect?

The 5/8"-27 female end fits only microphone stands with that thread, while the 1/4"-20 male end fits only devices with a matching 1/4"-20 socket.
