Manfrotto Double End Stud Adapter, 5/8" + 3/8" Thread and 5/8" + 1/4" Thread. (#3094)

It's cheap. It's good. It's durable. It works perfectly. What more can you ask for in a Manfrotto product? I like how I no longer have to carry 2 different studs for the same purpose. Very useful when travelling light. The lack of the hexagonal part also means that it's easy to rotate your camera to the angle you desire.

Really, without this stud (or spigot as some call it) many light stands would be useless, as most studio lights are designed to attach to this type of connection. The low spots ensure a safe connection, as lights will not fall off even if they loosen with time, vibration, heat expansion, cooling, etc. If your stands or booms use this type of connection, purchase an extra and tape (or cable tie-even better as it is stronger and neater) it to something you always have available. You will lose one someplace and without one, you may not be able to set up the lighting you want. One solid, machined piece of brass, with 1/4" and 3/8" screw connections that allow you to attach other things, even cameras, to stands.

The Manfrotto 013 is one of many adapters I keep in my studio to help make diverse pieces of gear work together. Sometimes I need to attach a video light to a Manfrotto 175 Spring Clamp: simply slide the 013 into the 5/8" socket, tighten the t-screw and you're in business. The 013 also has 1/4" and 3/8" screws for adding a cold shoe, Arca clamp or small ball head. The brass is top quality but, after all, is relatively soft metal and thus prone to dings and scratches from t-screws. After a few years of use, mine is rustic dark brown and scarred but still works as good as new. All in all a handy and well made adapter. I probably should buy another one...

It works. Received on time and is an official Manfrotto replacement part.

I brought another one.

I've recently bought some product that included similar double ended studs like the Manfrotto and ended up using chasers on then because the threads were unusable. I would rather spend a couple of extra dollars and have the product work correctly and after all how difficult can it be to use the correct dies or use ones that aren't worn out. Will try to avoid Chinese knock offs as much as possible.

Not a piece of mystery metal. Buy this if you even think you will need it and you will not be disappointed. This is a solid chunk of brass with machining marks still visible. Given ordinary (and extra-ordinary!) on-set use and stresses, this will not fail. What more could you ask from any tool?

These are great little adapters to have in your toolbox. Add in a few other studs and spigots and you can connect almost anything. It makes setups much easier.

Molto ben fatto, in ottone massiccio lavorato al tornio. La consistenza si sente (e si vede) tutta, anche nel suo peso di quasi 70 grammi. Piani e filetti netti ben rifiniti, chiaramente non fatti con lo stampo, zigrinatura per il serraggio a mano efficace e con ottimo grip. La distanza tra i due piani sopra e sotto, quindi escluse le parti sporgenti filettate, comportano un allungamento totale di 54 mm. Apprezzo la cura nella costruzione e la compatibilità con molti accessori di uso comune per il fotografo.

Leveransen återkallades, säljaren avbröt köpet och pengarna fick jag tillbaka.

Ich habe mir für meine GoPro eine Manfrotto SuperClamp und einen Tripod-Adapter gekauft in Kombination mit diesem Zapfen lässt sich die GoPro an jedem Beliebigen Ort befestigen. Der Zapfen macht was er soll, sitz der fest in der Klemme und an dem Adapter, da wackelt nichts. Die Möglichkeit das ganze statt mit der GoPro mit einem Mikrophone zu benutzen ist ebenfalls sehr reizvoll! Preis/Leistung stimmt in meinen Augen!
