Product Description
Overview
The KUPO KCP-844 TV Coupler is a polished die-cast coupler for film and television studio hardware on 48 to 51 mm tube. It provides a 28 mm junior socket rated to 300 kg and a movable 16 mm baby stud with 3/8" thread rated to 40 kg, letting one fitting serve both heavier hangers and lightweight accessories.
Why It Matters
Studio rigs often mix junior and baby hardware on the same pipe. The KCP-844 keeps both options in one certified coupler, with a safety linchpin and bonding wire that protect the luminaire during pan adjustment when the clamp knob is loosened.

- 48 to 51 mm tube range fits common studio pipe and truss tube
- TÜV APPROVED rugged aluminum die-cast body in Polished finish
Applications
Use it in TV studios, film stages, lighting grids, telescopic hanger setups, lightweight luminaire positions, monitor mounts, and studio accessory rigs where both junior and baby interfaces are useful.
Compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use both the 28 mm and 16 mm attachments for the same load?
No. Treat them as separate attachment paths with separate ratings: 300 kg on the 28 mm junior socket and 40 kg on the 16 mm baby stud.
What does the safety linchpin do?
It helps keep the luminaire secured during pan adjustment while the clamp knob is loosened, reducing drop-off risk during fine aiming.

KCP-844 is a TV Coupler for 48 to 51 mm tube with both 28 mm and 16 mm attachments. KCP-100B is a heavier TV Clamp with a wider 22 to 54 mm tube range.
