Kupo 5/8" Male Adapter

This Kupo adapter connects equipment with a 5/8" male stud to accessories using a 3/8"-16 female thread. It suits photographers and videographers who need to bridge different mounting standards on set. The steel construction handles regular studio or location work without bending. Buyers needing metric threads or larger baby-pin receivers will need a different adapter.

Thermals Noise Power

As a passive metal component, the adapter generates no heat, draws no power and produces no noise during use. It adds negligible mass to a light stand or grip arm, so balance and stability remain unchanged. There are no moving parts to wear out or lubricate. Environmental temperature extremes do not affect its mechanical function.

Bundled Accessories Software

The package contains only the single adapter; no additional hardware, pouches or software are included. Its sole purpose is the immediate mechanical conversion between the two thread sizes. No firmware updates, calibration tools or companion apps exist for this item. Compatibility expands instantly the moment the adapter is screwed into place.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the 5/8" male adapter to a light stand without stripping the threads?

Screw the 5/8" male end into the stand's female socket by hand until snug, then give a light quarter-turn with a spanner; over-tightening with tools strips the aluminium threads.

Will the 3/8"-16 female thread wear out if I swap heads daily?

The tapped steel thread resists hundreds of cycles; clean grit from the threads monthly and apply a drop of light machine oil if engagement feels rough.

At what load does the 16 mm male pin start to bend under constant tilt?

The 16 mm steel pin holds typical modifier weights; sustained off-centre loads above a medium softbox will gradually deform the pin, so centre the weight.
