Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is it possible to hold it only with the tightening function built in Profoto A1?

A: Being that the Profoto A1 is a shoe mount flash, it can be held on this Manfrotto shoe adapter with the tension built into the foot on the flash itself.

Q: 2. I've lost the locking knob, is there a replacement I can buy?

A: please contact manfrotto at 201 818 9500

Q: 3. Does the knob lock the ball joints as well as the elbow?

A: The knob tightens all three movements.

Q: 4. How long is the 5/8 pin side??

A: The 5/8 stud side is 1 3/4" long.

Q: 5. Do these have a flat side?

A: Yes these spigots have a flat size.

Q: 6. It is not clear from the single photo of this adapter how it attaches to the 244 friction arm. My 244 arm has a standard 5/8" spigot on each end. So how does this adapter connect to a spigot - does it fit over the spigot and set-screw tighten? or is there a 1/4" or 3/8" thread somewhere?

A: Via 1/4 opening.

Q: 7. Will this accessory work on a Satchler FSB 6 Fluid Head?

A: You will need the Sachtler 3987 Accessory Mount Kit B&H # SAAM to add the necessary threads. https://bhpho.to/2GgEJPi

Q: 8. Is there a 1/4 female thread on the bottom of these?

A: The female 1/4" thread is only found on the top of the Manfrotto 5/8'' Spigot with 1/4'' Thread for Friction Arms (Set of 2).

Q: 9. Hi Guys, this picture does not seem to reflect a double ended spigot with male threads on either side. Can you verify that the photo is accurate? thank you

A: It doesn't. Male one one end Female on the other

Q: 10. will this spigot fit into my PhotoFlex LS-B2320Y stand?

A: Sorry, I don't know. I use it in knuckles (aka gobo heads). They fit those perfectly, and let you use an 3/8 or 1/20-20 threaded attachments.

Ordered a couple of these with my 244micro Friction Arm. Easily makes the arm adaptable. Mounts my Atomos monitor to my Sony FS5. 5

I got a used mini friction arm that was missing the ¼ thread on one end. Had to search online to find this replacement part and ordered from B&H. It arrived and my mini friction arm is usable now! 5

Pick up this to support my Manfrotto arms, now we can attach arms to all tripods and supports that use 3/8'' or 1/4'' connections. Very strong and durable, this simple attachments in a must for any professorial cameraman. 5
