Kupo 4.5" Grip Head Overview

The Kupo G400512 is a 4.5 inch grip head built for professional photography and videography. It uses rotating aluminum discs with a junior 28mm stud and receiver to secure lights and modifiers. The design is widely known in the cine industry as a lollipop head for overhead frames.

Mounting Compatibility Limits

The V-shaped jaws accept accessories with 5/8 inch or 3/8 inch mounting studs or tubing. Teeth on the jaws grip round or flat stock between the plates for a firm hold. The non-slip aluminum friction disc provides positive locking strength and precise control at any angle.

Converts Junior Stand to Overhead

This head replaces a standard combo head on a junior stand to create a dedicated overhead stand. The jump is worth it when you need to rig large frames or heavy lighting overhead safely. It is not for setups that only require lightweight, single-accessory mounting on a baby pin.
