The KS-017SB Universal Adapter Spigot is a 5/8" (16 mm) baby stud with 3/8"-16 male thread on one end and 1/4"-20 male thread on the other. It lets cameras, monitors, small accessories, and grip hardware move between baby receivers and photo-style threaded mounts without rebuilding the rig.
Why It Matters
The steel body trades the brass version's anti-galling behavior for higher strength and a low-reflectance black finish that disappears better in camera-front rigs.
Key Features
5/8" (16 mm) baby stud fits standard baby receivers across grip and camera hardware.
3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 male thread ends cover the two most common accessory thread standards.
Steel construction gives this version its specific balance of thread feel, strength, and visual finish.
Compact universal adapter format makes it a practical spare for grip, camera, and monitor kits.
Applications
Use for cameras, monitors, small lights, accessory arms, grip plates, tripod-thread devices, and baby receiver setups in studio, stage, and location work.
Compatibility
Fits standard 5/8" (16 mm) baby receivers and devices with 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 female threads.
