About the Mounting Hardware range

Start with the connection at each end. Common specifications include 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threads, 5/8-inch baby pins and receivers, and 1-1/8-inch junior fittings. Check whether the part has a male thread, female thread, stud or receptor, then compare the thread size, pin diameter, jaw opening and supported load. For clamps, match the jaw range to the pole, tube, shelf or table. Account for the full equipment weight, plus leverage from arms or offset lights, and stay within the manufacturer's load rating.

The range is organised into Clamps & Clips, Conversion Adapters, and Studs, Receptors & Pins, with general mounting hardware also included. A super clamp may need a separate stud or pin, while an adapter only changes the thread and does not increase load capacity. Do not assume 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch fittings are interchangeable, or that a 5/8-inch baby pin fits a 1-1/8-inch junior receiver. Check included accessories, dimensions and the product page before ordering.

Mounting Hardware questions

What is a baby pin or spigot used for?

A baby pin, often called a spigot, is a 5/8-inch mounting pin used with compatible light stands, clamps, brackets and receivers. Check whether the fitting is a male pin or a female receptor, and confirm any additional 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 thread on the pin.

What is the difference between a 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch thread?

They are different thread sizes and cannot be joined directly. A 1/4-20 thread is common on cameras and accessories, while 3/8-16 is used on many stands, arms and mounting points. Use a correctly specified conversion adapter, such as a female 3/8-inch to male 1/4-20 adapter.

How do I choose a super clamp for a light or camera?

Check the clamp's jaw range against the diameter or thickness of the surface being gripped. Confirm the mounting thread, stud or receiver matches your equipment, then check the rated load with the complete setup attached. Tighten all locking points and use a secondary restraint where the application requires one.
