Universal spigot for lighting rigs
The Manfrotto 013 is a 16 mm brass spigot fitted with a 1/4-20 thread on one end and a 3/8 thread on the other. It connects lights, modifiers or camera gear that use different thread standards. The solid brass body resists wear in daily studio or location work. It replaces the earlier 3094 model for current inventory.
Thermals noise and power
As a passive metal adapter the 013 generates no heat and draws no power during use. It adds no audible noise to a set because it contains no moving parts or electronics. The brass construction simply transfers mechanical load between the two threaded ends. There are no thermal limits or fan curves to manage.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the 16 mm spigot on a light stand and what step is often missed?
Thread the 1/4-20 or 3/8 end into the stand’s female socket, then tighten the brass body with a spanner so the spigot cannot rotate under load.
What part of this adapter will need replacement after repeated use?
The brass threads can wear or strip over time; when they no longer grip securely, replace the entire 013 stud.
