Manfrotto 16mm Male Adapter 3/8" to 5/8" stud

The Manfrotto 182 is a compact aluminium mounting adapter for compatible photo, video and studio supports. It combines a smooth 5/8″ (16 mm) Baby male stud with a male 3/8″ thread at the top; the base has a plain 3/8″ socket secured by a side screw, as shown in the manufacturer’s technical drawing. This gives you distinct mounting options for correctly matched fittings without confusing a smooth receiver with a threaded hole. At 20 g, it adds little weight to your grip equipment. Check the interfaces and the permitted load of the complete support before mounting an accessory.

LIGHTWEIGHT MOUNTING ADAPTER

At 20 g, it adds little weight to the setup. The base uses a plain 3/8″ socket with a side locking screw—not a female thread—while the 16 mm stud and top thread provide further mounting options for matching accessories.
