The Manfrotto 159 is a compact aluminum studio adapter that converts a 5/8″ (16 mm) bottom socket with a locking screw into a 5/8″ (16 mm) top spigot. It allows you to extend a standard “Baby” spigot on a tripod or create a new mounting interface for lighting and grip accessories. The silver adapter is 9.7 cm tall, weighs only 70 g, and is designed and manufactured in Italy.
Simple extension of the studio pin
The lower 16mm socket slides onto a compatible Baby pin and is secured with a side screw. The upper 16mm pin then provides the same standard interface for connecting studio equipment. The adapter is useful when you need to extend a pin or add it to a structure with a socket.

Two precisely designed interfaces
The socket at the bottom accepts a standard 5/8″ (16 mm) spigot, and a locking screw prevents accidental disengagement. The top features a 5/8″ (16 mm) studio spigot. The aluminum construction keeps the weight at 70 g and the height at 9.7 cm.
Before assembly, verify that both connecting elements use a standard 16 mm studio interface, and always tighten the locking screw securely.
