Double-Ended Spigot for Studio Gear

The Flashpoint double-ended spigot connects clamps with a 5/8" receiver to cameras, monitors or audio recorders that use a 1/4"-20 female thread. It also reverses to accept lighting accessories needing a 5/8" baby pin. Photographers and videographers who switch between grip and camera rigs will find it useful. The aluminum body weighs 113g.

Thermals Noise and Power

This is a passive metal adapter with no electronics, so it generates no heat, draws no power and makes no sound. It adds negligible mass to a light stand or boom arm. The aluminum construction resists corrosion during location work. No cooling or power budget is required.

Upgrade Path and Limits

It replaces single-thread adapters that force you to carry separate 5/8" and 1/4"-20 hardware. The jump is worth it when you regularly mount both camera-thread devices and baby-pin accessories on the same grip gear. It will not help setups that rely solely on 3/8"-16 threads or proprietary quick-release plates.

Questions about this item

How do I attach this spigot to a C-stand arm and which thread goes where?

Screw the 5/8" stud into the grip-head receiver until the shoulder seats, then mount your 1/4"-20 accessory on the opposite end; reversing the order puts the load on the smaller thread and risks stripping it.

What part of this spigot is likely to wear out first with daily studio use?

The 1/4"-20 male threads will gall or cross-thread before the aluminum body shows wear, so keep a thread-chaser handy and avoid over-tightening with pliers.

At what point does the 1/4"-20 connection become the limiting factor during a long shoot?

A heavy monitor or light levered on the 1/4"-20 end will flex the stud and loosen the thread long before the 5/8" baby-pin side slips, so support the load close to the spigot.
