The Manfrotto 016 is a heavy-duty steel 16 mm (5/8″ Baby) female adapter with a 3/8″-16 male shaft, specifically designed to mount Broncolor flash heads or any other light with a 16 mm female receiver onto standard 3/8″ studs (Super Clamp, Magic Arm, tripod heads, C-stand arms, etc.). At 140 g and 57 mm long, it’s the classic adapter found in every professional lighting kit.
The 016 is the official Manfrotto/Broncolor-approved adapter for connecting Broncolor heads to the rest of the world. The top is a full-size 16 mm Baby female socket (same diameter and depth as a regular Baby pin receiver), while the bottom is a 3/8″-16 male thread with a wide flange for rock-solid mounting.
