The 120DF is the official Manfrotto double-female 3/8″ adapter plate. Machined from black anodized aluminum with a large 60 mm diameter for excellent rigidity, it lets you screw two 3/8″ male threads together when you run out of thread length or need to combine accessories (e.g., attaching a 131D side arm directly to a stand’s top 3/8″ stud to create a tall lateral column, or linking two Magic Arms end-to-end). The wide base prevents twisting under load and spreads torque, making it far stronger than a simple threaded coupler.
