Kupo KS-079 Baby Light Adapter For Elinchrom – Lightweight aluminum adapter for secure mounting on long 5/8" (16mm) spigots
The Kupo KS-079 adapter solves seating issues when you mount Elinchrom heads on stands with longer-than-normal ANSI Standard 5/8" (16mm) spigots. It provides a simple, sturdy interface that improves fit and stability. The adapter is made from lightweight aluminum and features a knurled neck to increase friction while you tighten the knob.
Key features
- Constructed from lightweight aluminum for reliable, low-weight performance.
- Knurled neck design to provide maximum friction when tightening the knob.
- Designed to work effectively with Elinchrom heads when mounting on C-Stands or stands with longer-than-normal ANSI Standard 5/8" (16mm) spigots.
- Includes 1/4’’-20 female thread on the top of the 16mm stud for attaching accessories and comes with a 1/4’’-20 male thread.
Why use the KS-079 adapter?
Spigots on C-Stands, booms, and various other stands often have different lengths. As a result, heads can fail to seat securely on longer spigots. The KS-079 adapter addresses this specific concern by providing a tailored interface for Elinchrom heads. In practice, this reduces wobble and improves the security of your mounted head when you use stands with extended spigot lengths.
Practical applications
- Mounting Elinchrom heads on C-Stands with longer-than-normal spigots.
- Using booms or auxiliary stands where the ANSI Standard 5/8" (16mm) spigot protrudes further than expected.
- Attaching accessories via the included 1/4’’-20 thread options on the top of the stud.
