16mm Female Adapter with 80mm Disc
The Manfrotto 16mm Female Adapter features a 3/8" screw and an 80mm disc base. It functions primarily as a stand adapter, fitting over a 5/8" baby stud with a captive locking thumb screw. The wing nut and disc provide a robust connection for lighting fixtures and accessories.
Studio Builders Needing Secure Mounting
Photographers and videographers requiring a stable 16mm receiver for lights, reflectors or tripod heads will find this adapter suitable. It supports loads up to 8.82lbs (4.00kg) for reliable studio use. Builders needing a different receiver size or a lighter clamp should look at other options.
80mm Disc Base for Load Stability
The 3.2" (80mm) disc base distributes weight across a wide footprint, minimising wobble under the rated 4.00kg capacity. This single specification determines whether the adapter meets the stability demands of your specific lighting fixtures.

Questions about this item
What size Baby stud does the 16mm female receiver fit?
The 16mm (5/8") female receiver slides over any standard 5/8" Baby stud and locks with the captive thumb screw.
Can the 3/8" mounting screw attach directly to my existing tripod head?
Yes — the 3/8" (9.5 mm) screw is the standard photo-thread size used on most tripod heads and quick-release plates.
How do I confirm the adapter is locked securely after setup?
Tighten the captive thumb screw on the 16mm receiver and the wing nut on the 80mm disc base; both should be firm with no play.
