Universal 1/2" Adapter for Female Rods

The Zacuto 1/2" Adapter connects female rods and Zamerican arms to standard camera threads. It bridges 15mm rod systems with both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting points. This single accessory replaces multiple loose adapters in a kit bag. It suits camera operators who need fast, secure reconfiguration on set.

Dual-thread mounting flexibility

The hollow 3/8"-16 male end contains an internal 1/4"-20 female socket for layered mounting options. This design handles lightweight monitors, handles or small accessories directly. It runs out of capacity when supporting heavy cine cages or large battery plates without additional support. The adapter is built for repeated attachment cycles in field conditions.

15mm to 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 conversion

This specific rod-to-thread conversion defines the part's role in a rig. Buyers using non-Zacuto rod diameters or proprietary arm systems cannot use this adapter. It is not for setups requiring NATO rails, ARRI rosettes or cold-shoe interfaces. The fixed 15mm input limits compatibility to matching female rods and Zamerican arms only.

Questions about this item

Will this 15mm adapter fit my existing Zacuto female rods and Zamerican Arm?

Yes, it screws directly into any Zacuto female rod or Zamerican Arm, converting the 15mm connection to a standard mounting thread.

How can I verify the 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threads are engaging correctly after installation?

Thread the adapter fully until snug; the hollow 3/8-16 end should accept a 1/4-20 screw inside, confirming both thread paths are aligned and functional.

Does the package include mounting screws or do I supply my own 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 hardware?

The adapter itself provides the male 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threads; any camera or accessory screws must be supplied separately.
