Versatile Mount Adapter
The Manfrotto 152 adapter converts a 17.5mm receiver to a standard 5/8 inch stud, letting you connect lighting heads or accessories to stands with different mount sizes. It suits photographers and videographers who mix gear from various systems and need a reliable bridge between them. The aluminium construction keeps the connection rigid without adding bulk to a location kit.
Aluminium Build and Secure Fit
Weighing .31 lbs, the adapter adds negligible mass to a stand or boom arm while resisting deformation under load. The machined threads engage cleanly with 5/8 inch male studs, reducing play that can cause a light to drift during a session. Its compact length keeps the centre of gravity close to the support, which matters when stacking modifiers or using offset arms.
Ready for Mixed Kit Workflows
No tools are required; the adapter threads on by hand and locks down with a standard wrench flat if needed. It ships as a single unit with no extra shims or screws, so you can drop it into a gear bag and deploy it immediately when a stand or bracket mismatch appears on set.

Questions about this item
What does the 17.5mm to 5/8" conversion actually let me connect?
It turns a 17.5mm socket into a 5/8" receiver so you can mount gear with a 5/8" stud on stands that only offer the smaller fitting.
How much clearance and weight does the aluminum body add to the stack?
The adapter weighs .31 lbs and its low-profile aluminum construction keeps the added height minimal while resisting bending under load.
Which way round do the male and female ends go when I fit it?
The 17.5mm female socket slides onto the stand's male spigot, then your 5/8" male stud screws into the adapter's female receiver — reversing them leaves the threads exposed and unstable.
