Kupo T.V. Coupler (KCP-844)

Overview

The Kupo T.V. Coupler (KCP-844) is a professional heavy-duty lighting coupler designed for securely rigging luminaires, grip equipment, and studio accessories onto truss systems, overhead grids, and standard 48–51 mm tubing. Built for demanding film, broadcast, theatre, and studio environments, this versatile coupler combines a 28 mm junior receiver with a removable 16 mm baby stud system for maximum mounting flexibility.

Manufactured from rugged aluminium die-casting and high-tensile aluminium extrusion, the KCP-844 is engineered to handle high payloads while remaining lightweight and practical for daily production use. The hinged locking jaw design allows for easier single-handed rigging, making setup faster and more efficient on busy sets and lighting grids.

The integrated 28 mm (1-1/8") junior receiver is ideal for mounting larger luminaires and telescopic hangers, while the interchangeable 16 mm (5/8") baby stud with 3/8"-16 thread provides additional compatibility for lightweight fixtures and accessories. A built-in safety linchpin and attached safety wire help prevent accidental fixture release during adjustment and rigging.

With TÜV certification and an impressive safe working load of up to 300 kg on the junior receiver, the KCP-844 is a trusted rigging solution for professional lighting departments requiring reliability, versatility, and safety.
