Overview
The Kupo KS-096 5/8" Stud with 3/8"-16 Female Thread is a professional grip adapter designed for connecting lighting, camera, and rigging accessories within standard production setups. It is widely used in film, television, photography, and studio environments where a secure interface between baby pin systems and threaded mounting points is required.
Constructed from lightweight aluminium, the KS-096 features a 5/8" (16 mm) baby stud on one end and a 3/8"-16 female threaded socket on the other. This allows it to mount onto equipment with a 3/8"-16 male thread, such as tripods, suction mounts, or rigging accessories, while still providing a standard baby pin interface for lighting and grip equipment.
The adapter has a knurled neck section that improves grip and helps prevent rotation when secured in grip heads or clamps. Its compact 3.5" (90 mm) length makes it a versatile utility component for both studio and location work.
