Secure Your Rig with the Ultimate Non-Twist Mounting Solution
Eliminate frustrating on-set adjustments and ensure rock-solid stability with the Upgrade Innovations 3″ Whaley Pin-Loc Baby Pin. Designed for the professional grip, gaffer, and camera assistant, this isn't just another baby pin; it's a precision-engineered solution to one of rigging's most common problems: unwanted rotation. By integrating the industry-standard ARRI pin-loc system, this baby pin creates a steadfast, non-twist connection, guaranteeing your lights, monitors, and accessories stay exactly where you position them.
Engineered as the perfect companion for the innovative Whaley Rail frame system, this pin ensures seamless integration and maximum security. We went a step further by designing it with an extended 0.5-inch long, 3/8″ male thread. This extra length provides significantly more purchase within the mounting point, delivering superior anchor strength and peace of mind, especially when rigging heavy or cantilevered equipment. While optimized for the Whaley Rail Clamp and Vertical Post End Plug, its universal design makes it a powerful upgrade for any standard ARRI pin-loc mount, provided there's a minimum thread depth of 0.5 inches.
Durability is non-negotiable in a professional environment. That's why the Whaley Pin-Loc Baby Pin is CNC machined from a single piece of high-strength, anodized aircraft-grade aluminum. This robust construction ensures it can withstand the daily rigors of production, from rough transport to demanding on-set conditions, providing reliable performance year after year. Adjustments are swift and simple, requiring only a standard 5/32″ or 4mm Hex key for confident tightening and loosening. Upgrade your kit and invest in the stability and reliability your work demands.
