Overview
The Kupo KS-085 Quick Release Adapter 1/4"-20 Male to Female is a professional quick-release mounting component designed for fast and efficient attachment and removal of lighting, camera, and audio accessories. It is widely used in film production, television, photography, and studio environments where rapid reconfiguration of equipment is required.
Constructed from durable aluminium, the KS-085 forms part of Kupo’s modular quick release system. It features a 1/4"-20 female threaded base combined with a 1/4"-20 male threaded top, allowing it to act as both a mounting interface and a connection point for compatible accessories.
The adapter is designed to work with Kupo’s quick release top mounts, using a hexagonal receiver and a spring-loaded locking mechanism. Once engaged, the system allows users to quickly attach or remove accessories by pressing down the red release collar, making on-set adjustments significantly faster and more efficient.
Its compact design makes it suitable for mounting monitors, small lights, microphones, and other lightweight production accessories onto arms, brackets, and tripods.
