Kupo Baby Drop Down Pin kg602512

The Kupo Baby Drop Down Pin kg602512 is a new lighting accessory that connects a 5/8" female receiver to a 5/8" male pin. It weighs 0.62kg (1.37lbs) and includes an additional locking knob on the elbow joint. The pivoting pin keeps fixtures such as reflectors or softboxes level regardless of the boom arm angle.

Who this suits

This pin suits lighting technicians and studio photographers who need to keep a fixture horizontal while the boom arm tilts up or down. It also fits rigs that require a secure 5/8" to 5/8" connection with an extra safety lock.

Who should look elsewhere

Builders who need a fixed rigid coupling without pivot movement should look elsewhere. Users requiring a different receiver or pin diameter, or a lighter-weight connector, will not be served by this model.

Pivoting baby pin

The pivoting baby pin is the single specification that decides fit: it maintains a horizontal fixture position at any boom angle while the elbow knob locks the set angle in place.

Questions about this item

Will the 5/8" male pin on the kg602512 fit the baby receiver on my existing boom arm?

Yes, the pin is a standard 5/8" baby pin designed to seat securely in any compatible baby receiver on boom arms or stands.

How can I confirm the pivoting elbow holds my softbox level once I set the angle?

Tighten the additional knob on the elbow joint; it locks the pivot so the fixture stays horizontal regardless of the boom angle.

Does the kg602512 package include any mounting bolts or safety cables?

The unit ships as the drop-down pin only; mounting hardware and safety cables are sold separately.
