Solid steel 3-way baby adapter
This Kupo adapter is a solid steel mounting accessory designed for professional photography and studio lighting setups. It provides one 5/8 inch baby receiver and three 5/8 inch baby male pins to secure multiple lights or accessories. The robust construction ensures maximum stability and prevents accidental slips during use. It is intended for gaffers and photographers who need to expand mounting options on stands or rigs.
5/8 inch stud interface limits
The adapter uses the industry standard 5/8 inch (16mm) baby pin and receiver interface for broad compatibility with lighting equipment. Practical limits are defined by the load capacity of the attached stand and the torque exerted by off-centre fixtures. Builders must ensure the supporting hardware can handle the combined weight and leverage of all mounted items. No other mounting standards or pin sizes are supported by this unit.
Three light capacity and headroom
The three male pins allow simultaneous mounting of up to three lighting fixtures or accessories on a single C-stand or baby receiver. At 7.5 inches long and weighing 1.41 lb, it adds minimal length and mass to the rig while providing significant configuration flexibility. Headroom is reached when the total load approaches the stand's rating or when physical interference between fixtures prevents safe adjustment. It is not suited for mounting heavier grip heads or large modifiers beyond the pin's shear strength.

Questions about this item
How do I decide between the three 5/8" baby male pins and the single baby receiver for my lighting setup?
The three male pins let you mount up to three lights or accessories on one c-stand, while the single receiver lets the adapter itself sit on a stand or grip arm.
What does the 1.41 lb weight mean when the adapter is loaded with three lights on a c-stand?
At 1.41 lb the steel body adds minimal mass, keeping the c-stand balanced and portable even with three fixtures attached.
How does the 5/8" (16mm) baby standard limit what I can attach?
The 16 mm baby pins and receiver only accept gear with matching 5/8" baby sockets or studs, so larger junior or smaller spigot fittings will not connect.
