Thread conversion

The Gitzo GS5000 is a 3/8 inch to 1/4-20 inch reducer adapter built for photographers and videographers who need to connect gear with mismatched threads. It converts a 3/8 inch male thread into a 1/4-20 inch female thread so that tripods, monopods, heads and quick-release plates can work together. The adapter is compact and lightweight for everyday carry.

Compatibility check

Before ordering, confirm that the mounting point you want to adapt has a 3/8 inch male thread and that the accessory you will attach requires a 1/4-20 inch female thread. Verify the thread pitch and diameter on both pieces of equipment to avoid cross-threading or loose fits. No tools are required for installation.

Who it suits

This adapter suits shooters who mix tripod, monopod and lighting components that use the two common thread standards. It does not suit users who need to convert 1/4-20 male to 3/8 inch female or who require a step-up ring instead of a reducer. Buyers needing multiple adapters or different thread combinations should look at other options.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and is anything else required to use the Gitzo GS5000 adapter?

The package contains the Gitzo GS5000 reducer adapter. No additional parts are needed; it threads directly between 3/8 inch male and 1/4-20 inch female connections.

There is only the GS5000 model listed; how do I know it is the right version for my gear?

The GS5000 is a single model that converts a 3/8 inch male thread to a 1/4-20 inch female thread. Choose it when your support has the larger stud and your head or plate needs the smaller socket.

What does the 3/8 to 1/4-20 conversion mean when I attach it to my tripod?

It lets you mount any 1/4-20 compatible head, quick-release plate or accessory onto a tripod or monopod that has a 3/8 inch mounting stud.
