Overview
The Kupo KS-027 16 mm Male Adapter is a professional-grade rigging accessory designed for use in film production, television, theatre, photography studios, and broadcast environments. It forms part of the Kupo Convi Clamp ecosystem, providing a reliable interface between lighting fixtures, grip equipment, and standard 5/8" (16 mm) receiver systems.
Manufactured from durable chrome-plated steel, the KS-027 is built for long-term professional use in demanding production conditions. It features a 5/8" (16 mm) male spigot designed to fit standard baby receivers, combined with an internal M10 female thread for mounting compatible accessories or converting threaded hardware into a 16 mm grip interface.
A knurled neck section increases friction, helping ensure a secure fit when tightened, while an integrated set screw allows additional locking security when mounted onto threaded connections. This combination provides stability, reduces unwanted rotation, and ensures dependable performance in dynamic on-set environments.
Compact and lightweight, the KS-027 is widely used as a universal adapter for converting lighting stands, rigging points, and threaded accessories into standard grip-compatible mounting systems.
