Kupo Adapter for Female Thread 3/8"-16 to Male Thread 1/4"-20 (KS-052)

Overview

The Kupo KS-052 Adapter is a compact professional thread conversion accessory designed for joining and adapting lighting, camera, and grip equipment with different mounting standards. It is widely used in film production, television, photography, and studio environments where fast compatibility between 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 threaded systems is required.

Manufactured from solid brass, the KS-052 is engineered for durability while remaining lightweight and easy to carry in any production kit. It converts a 3/8"-16 female thread into a 1/4"-20 male thread, allowing smaller accessories such as cameras, monitors, LED lights, and mounting brackets to be attached to larger grip or stand systems.

This adapter is a standard utility component across professional lighting workflows, often used in combination with stands, extension arms, and mounting plates to resolve thread mismatches quickly and efficiently on set. Its compact form factor makes it an essential “always-in-the-kit” item for grips and camera operators.
