Kupo TV Coupler with 28mm and 16mm fittings

The Kupo TV Coupler is a heavy-duty mounting accessory built from die-cast and extruded aluminium with a black finish. It provides a 28mm junior socket and a 16mm baby stud that can be swapped for a 16mm socket via a spring latch. The unit is TUV approved and rated for 300kg on the 28mm attachment and 40kg on the 16mm attachment.

Hinged locking jaw and integrated safety wire

A hinged locking jaw allows single-handed operation for fast setup and adjustments on set. The built-in safety wire remains attached to the coupler, providing an immediate secondary retention point whenever equipment is mounted. These features combine to speed up rigging while adding a constant layer of fall protection.

For gaffers and riggers securing large fixtures

This coupler suits professionals who need a single, high-capacity connector for heavy luminaires or telescopic hangers on 28mm spigots. It is not intended for loads exceeding 300kg on the junior socket or 40kg on the baby stud, nor for applications requiring smaller diameter spigots or different thread patterns.

Questions about this item

Will the hinged locking jaw or spring latch need periodic lubrication or replacement?

The hinged locking jaw and spring latch are metal components with no stated maintenance interval; keep them clean and inspect for wear before each use.

Which attachment reaches its load limit first when the coupler is under continuous heavy load?

The 16 mm baby stud or socket is rated for 40 kg (88 lbs), so it will reach its limit well before the 28 mm junior socket rated for 300 kg (660 lbs).

Does the aluminium and steel body become hot or noisy during all-day studio use?

The coupler has no moving parts that generate noise or heat; the aluminium and steel construction remains at ambient temperature and operates silently.
