Mounting Adapter for Light Stands
The Flashpoint Speed Adapter connects a 5/8" post receiver on a light stand to equipment with a 3/8" male thread. Its steel body and locking plastic knob create a rigid joint that resists wobble during shoots. The device is built for photographers and videographers who need to swap lights, flashes or cameras quickly on standard stands.
Suits single-device setups; not for multi-head rigs
This adapter handles one piece of gear at a time, so it works well for a key light, a hair light or a camera mounted directly on a stand. Studios that run multiple heads on a single stand or need a baby-pin receiver will find the single 3/8" thread limiting. The fixed thread orientation also rules out quick panoramic rotation.
5/8" receiver to 3/8" male thread
The defining specification is the 5/8" post receiver paired with a 3/8" male thread. If your stand uses a 5/8" stud and your light, flash or camera accepts a 3/8" screw, this adapter bridges the two. Any other thread size or receiver diameter will not fit.
