Overview
The Kupo KS-083 Quick Release Adapter 1/8"-16 Male Threaded Top Mount is a professional quick-release mounting component designed for fast attachment and removal of lighting, camera, and audio accessories. It is widely used in film production, television, photography, and studio environments where efficient swapping of equipment is required.
Constructed from lightweight aluminium, the KS-083 is part of Kupo’s modular quick release system. It features a 1/8"-16 male threaded top mount, allowing compatible accessories such as monitors, small lights, microphones, and other devices with matching female threads to be mounted securely.
The adapter uses a hexagonal base that locks into the Kupo quick release receiver system using a spring-loaded ball bearing mechanism. This allows users to quickly attach or detach equipment by engaging the release collar, making it highly efficient for fast-paced production workflows.
Its compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for mobile rigs and setups where accessories need to be changed frequently without slowing down production.
