Kupo Swivel U Hook (KS-012)

Overview

The Kupo KS-012 Swivel U Hook is a professional heavy-duty rigging accessory designed for use with the Kupo Convi Clamp system in film production, television, theatre, photography studios, and live event environments. It provides a secure and versatile hanging point for lighting fixtures, ballast packs, and background crossbars, making it an essential component in professional grip workflows.

Manufactured from solid chrome-plated steel, the KS-012 is built to withstand demanding production use while maintaining strength and reliability under load. The integrated 16 mm (5/8") hex baby stud ensures a secure, anti-rotation connection when mounted into compatible Convi or Super Convi clamps. This prevents unwanted movement during use, even in more complex rigging setups.

The swivel U-hook design allows flexible positioning, making it easier to hang equipment such as strobe packs, HMI ballasts, or crossbars for backdrop systems. It is commonly used to balance loads on light stands or create clean, elevated rigging solutions that free up floor space on set. The hook is also compatible with 2" (approx. 50 mm) pipe systems, increasing its versatility across different grip applications.
