SKU CH-5NVD-DQ3FP

Aluminium adapter converts a 5/8" baby stud to a 3/8"-16 thread or 1-1/8" junior pin, with 2.2" base and three locking screws

  • Robust aluminum construction withstands demanding professional use
  • 3/8"-16 male top and 5/8" receiver bottom fit diverse gear
  • Converts to 1-1/8" junior pin for stand compatibility
  • Three set screws lock heads securely preventing slippage
  • 2" base diameter provides stable tripod-head foundation

Versatile Mounting Adapter

The Flashpoint Baby Ball Head Adapter connects a 3/8"-16 female tripod head to any 5/8" baby stud or 1-1/8" junior receiver. It suits photographers and videographers who need to position cameras on booms, grip arms or super clamps in tight or unconventional spaces.

Solid Aluminium Build

Machined from robust aluminium, the 2.2" diameter base provides a stable platform that resists slippage under load. Three set screws lock the head securely, so the connection stays rigid during long shoots without adding noticeable weight to the rig.

Quick-Change Flexibility

Removing the locking knob instantly converts the top to a 1-1/8" junior pin, letting you swap between baby and junior mounts without tools. This dual-mode design lets a single adapter serve light stands, combo stands and grip gear interchangeably.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Flashpoint Baby Ball Head Adapter on a 5/8" baby stud, and which step is often missed?

Slide the adapter's 5/8" receiver over the baby stud and tighten the locking knob; the step often missed is securing the three set screws against the mounted head's base to prevent rotation.

What maintenance or replacement will this aluminum adapter need over time?

Periodically check and tighten the three set screws and the locking knob, as vibration can loosen them; the aluminum body itself requires no scheduled replacement.

What limit appears first when the adapter is used continuously under load?

The 2.2" base diameter concentrates torque on the three set screws, so screw loosening under sustained vibration is the first practical limit.
