Overview
The Kupo KS-017 Universal 16 mm Light Stud is a compact, professional-grade adapter designed for use in lighting, grip, and rigging setups across film production, television, theatre, photography studios, and live event environments. It is a core utility component within the Kupo ecosystem, allowing quick and reliable mounting of fixtures and accessories using standard industry fittings.
Manufactured from solid brass, the KS-017 offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life even under frequent on-set use. Its design features a 5/8" (16 mm) baby stud profile that fits directly into standard receivers, combined with dual male threads (1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16) for broad compatibility with cameras, lighting fixtures, and grip accessories.
This makes it an essential “universal connector” for adapting equipment quickly on set, particularly when transitioning between different mounting systems or building lightweight, flexible rigging configurations. Its compact form factor ensures it can be easily carried in any grip kit or tool pouch without adding unnecessary bulk.
