Versatile Thread Adapter
The Manfrotto 015 adapter converts a 3/8 inch female thread to a 1/4 inch male thread. It allows devices with a standard 1/4"-20 mount to attach securely to bases or supports featuring a larger 3/8 inch thread. This small component expands the compatibility of existing lighting and studio gear. It is built for photographers and videographers who mix equipment with different thread standards.
Compact Build Integration
At 20mm long, the adapter adds minimal height to a mounting stack while providing a snug, stable connection. The 28mm male specification ensures it fits the intended base hardware precisely. It frees up the need for dedicated 3/8 inch threaded accessories by letting current 1/4 inch devices work on larger threads. The precision machining reduces wobble and protects mounted equipment from loose fittings.
Direct 3358 Replacement
This model replaces the Manfrotto 3358 adapter directly. The upgrade is worth it when the original part is lost, damaged or when a fresh precision-fit connector is needed for critical shoots. It serves users who already own 1/4"-20 threaded gear and encounter 3/8 inch mounting points. It is not for setups requiring a female 1/4 inch receiver or a different thread pitch altogether.

Questions about this item
What is the 20 mm length of the male thread designed to clear?
The 20 mm male thread reaches through shallow mounting plates so the 1/4"-20 device seats fully on the 3/8" female base.
Does the adapter add noticeable weight or thermal load during all-day studio use?
The all-metal construction adds negligible mass and generates no heat, so it does not affect balance or temperature on a rig.
Which existing thread standard must my light or camera already have to use this adapter?
Your equipment needs a 1/4"-20 female thread; the adapter provides a 3/8" female thread to mount on a compatible stand or head.
