Thread Adapter

Use Case

Suits photographers and audio engineers who need to attach photo-threaded gear to mic stands. Not for users requiring a clamp mechanism or a different thread pitch than the 20 and 27 specifications.

Critical Spec

Questions about this item

Should I pick the C0988 adapter or a different thread size?

The C0988 converts a 5/8"-27 microphone stand thread to a 1/4"-20 camera thread, so choose it when your stand uses the larger thread and your device needs the smaller one.

What does the 1/4"-20 to 5/8"-27 conversion actually let me mount?

It lets you attach cameras, recorders or other 1/4"-20 gear onto a standard 5/8"-27 microphone stand.

How do the 5/8"-27 and 1/4"-20 threads limit what I can connect?

The 5/8"-27 female end fits only microphone stands with that thread, while the 1/4"-20 male end fits only devices with a matching 1/4"-20 socket.
