Manfrotto ADAPTER 5/8 F TO 3/8 M

The Manfrotto 3301 Rapid Adapter is a precision-machined metal converter that instantly reduces a standard 5/8" (16 mm) baby stud on light stands or grips to a longer 3/8"-16 threaded stud, enabling secure mounting of lighting fixtures, cameras, or accessories that only accept 3/8" threads while maintaining full compatibility with professional 5/8" receiving sockets.

The Manfrotto 3301 Rapid Adapter solves one of the most common compatibility issues in lighting and grip work: fixtures designed for 3/8"-16 threads on a stand equipped with the industry-standard 5/8" (baby) receiver. This solid aluminum adapter features a female 5/8" socket on one end and an extended male 3/8"-16 threaded stud on the other, providing a longer reach than typical short 3/8" screws for better engagement in deep-threaded fixtures.
