Manfrotto 26mm 118 Male Spigot Adapter

The Manfrotto 26mm 118 Male Spigot Mounting Adapter connects cameras and lighting gear to tripods or Super Clamps. It features a 5/8 inch (16mm) stud top mount with both 1/4"x20 and 3/8" male threads for versatile equipment integration. This new accessory provides a secure, stable connection for photography and videography setups. Durable construction ensures reliable performance during frequent professional use.

Suits photographers needing flexible thread options

This adapter suits photographers and videographers requiring a robust link between 1/4"x20 and 3/8" threaded gear and a 5/8" stud receiver. It is not for users needing female-threaded receivers or different stud diameters for direct camera mounting. Builders requiring NATO rail or cold shoe interfaces should look at dedicated brackets instead. The fixed 26mm length offers no height adjustment for rig balancing.

Simple thread-on installation

Installation requires screwing the desired male thread into the equipment base and seating the 16mm stud into a compatible Super Clamp or grip head. The knurled design allows firm hand-tightening without tools for quick setup changes. Ensure the receiving clamp is rated for the load weight to prevent slippage during shoots. Cross-threading the fine 1/4"x20 thread is the most common error when rushing attachment.
