This Kupo KS-426 Super Knuckle Ball is part of the Super Knuckle system and provides a secure mounting point for camera accessories. It features a 3/8in-16 screw and Arri locating pins that prevent equipment from rotating after mounting, a connection commonly used in the video and cinema industries and often found on camera cages.
Mount the KS-426 onto a camera cage, handle, or other rigging points where rotational security matters. The locating pins engage with corresponding holes to prevent unwanted spin, making the part well suited for positions where stable alignment is essential. Because it is compatible with other Super Knuckle accessories, you can build or adapt multi-point mounting solutions.
Use the knurled thumbscrew for fast, tool-free adjustments and quick release when swapping gear. If you need a firmer setting, use a #3 Allen Key to re-tighten the thumbscrew and secure the joint further. This combination offers both convenience and the ability to achieve a more permanent hold when needed.
