Flashpoint Brand Speed Adapter 5/8" Post Receiver to 3/8" Thread

SKU CH-Y18J-W6FFS

Adapts 5/8" post receivers to 3/8" male threads with a steel body and plastic locking knob for secure mounting

  • Robust steel body ensures long-lasting durability
  • Adapts 5/8" post receivers to 3/8" male threads
  • Sturdy plastic knob enables secure tightening
  • Locking nut adds extra security for equipment
  • Supports both vertical and horizontal mounting orientations

Mounting Adapter for Light Stands

The Flashpoint Speed Adapter connects a 5/8" post receiver on a light stand to equipment with a 3/8" male thread. Its steel body and locking plastic knob create a rigid joint that resists wobble during shoots. The device is built for photographers and videographers who need to swap lights, flashes or cameras quickly on standard stands.

Suits single-device setups; not for multi-head rigs

This adapter handles one piece of gear at a time, so it works well for a key light, a hair light or a camera mounted directly on a stand. Studios that run multiple heads on a single stand or need a baby-pin receiver will find the single 3/8" thread limiting. The fixed thread orientation also rules out quick panoramic rotation.

5/8" receiver to 3/8" male thread

The defining specification is the 5/8" post receiver paired with a 3/8" male thread. If your stand uses a 5/8" stud and your light, flash or camera accepts a 3/8" screw, this adapter bridges the two. Any other thread size or receiver diameter will not fit.

Questions about this item

Does the steel body and plastic knob stay cool and silent during all-day studio sessions?

The adapter has no moving parts or electronics, so it generates no heat and makes no noise regardless of how long it is used.

What stand and gear must I already own to use this 5/8" receiver to 3/8" thread adapter?

You need a light stand with a 5/8" top stud and a light, flash or camera that accepts a 3/8" male thread.

Will the 3/8" male thread on this adapter fit the 3/8" sockets on my older light heads and cameras?

Yes, the 3/8" male thread is a standard size that matches the 3/8" female sockets found on most legacy lighting and camera gear.
