Universal Mount for On-Camera Lights

This adapter connects a shoe-mount video light to a light stand with a 3/8 inch to 5/8 inch top section. It is designed for photographers and videographers who need to position an on-camera light off the camera body. The universal fit works with a wide range of stands and shoe-mount accessories for studio or location use.

Fixed Thread and Shoe Interface

The adapter accepts only a standard flash shoe foot and a 3/8 inch to 5/8 inch stand stud. It cannot mount lights with larger spigots, 1/4 inch threads, or proprietary mounting plates. Umbrella handling or other accessory mounting is not supported by this specific unit.

Simple Screw-Lock Installation

Installation requires sliding the light shoe into the adapter and tightening the screw clamp onto the stand stud. The adjustable screw compensates for worn pins on older stands to maintain a tight fit. Over-tightening the clamp can strip threads or damage the stand's mounting post.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 3/8 inch or 5/8 inch thread for my light stand?

The adapter fits both 3/8 inch and 5/8 inch light stand top sections, so you can use it with either thread size without needing a separate converter.

Will this hold my on-camera video light steady on a light stand?

Yes, it securely mounts a shoe-equipped video light to a light stand and the screw adjustment compensates for worn pins to prevent wobble during shoots.

What does the shoe mount accept and what is the thread limit?

The shoe mount accepts standard flash-shoe video lights, while the base threads onto 3/8 inch or 5/8 inch light stand studs, capping compatibility to those two sizes.
