Manfrotto Tripod adapter 3/8" to 1/4"

The Manfrotto 120 is a robust, 60 mm aluminum converter plate that screws onto any tripod or stand with a 3/8″-16 male thread and instantly provides a rock-solid 1/4″-20 male stud—allowing you to mount lightweight heads that only have a 1/4″-20 socket to be safely used on professional 3/8″ stands and tripods without wobble or risk of stripping.

The 120 is the classic Manfrotto “3/8 to 1/4 reducer” plate every studio and location photographer keeps in their kit. Machined from black anodized aluminum with a wide 60 mm base for maximum stability, it simply threads onto the stand’s 3/8″ stud and presents a full-length 1/4″-20 stud with flat shoulders for perfect alignment. Far stronger and more reliable than cheap bushings or threaded inserts, it’s the factory-recommended way to mount compact heads on heavy-duty legs or lighting stands.
