Secure Your Rig with the Ultimate Non-Twist Baby Pin
*Please note: This item is built to order and usually delivered within 14 workdays.
In the world of professional rigging, stability is non-negotiable. Say goodbye to the frustrating and potentially dangerous twisting of your valuable lights, monitors, and camera accessories. The Upgrade Innovations 2.5″ Whaley Pin-Loc Baby Pin is engineered as the definitive solution for a rock-solid, set-and-forget connection. Designed to integrate flawlessly with the Whaley Rail frame system, its utility extends far beyond, offering a superior mounting option for any professional setup.
The core of its stability lies in the dual-pin design, which utilizes the industry-standard ARRI pin-loc spacing. These locating pins physically prevent the pin from rotating in its mount, ensuring your equipment stays exactly where you aimed it. We've enhanced this design by engineering an extra-long 3/8″ male mounting thread that measures 0.5″ in length. This extended thread provides a significantly deeper and more secure anchor into your mounting points, delivering unparalleled strength and peace of mind on set. This robust connection is critical when mounting heavy or off-balance equipment that can exert rotational force on standard pins.
While created as a core component for our Whaley Rail Clamp and Vertical Post End Plug, this baby pin is a versatile workhorse. It can be confidently attached to any ARRI pin-loc style mount, provided the receiving mount has a minimum thread depth of 0.5″ to accommodate its superior anchor. Built from a solid piece of anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, the Whaley Pin-Loc is both incredibly durable and surprisingly lightweight, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of daily production use without adding unnecessary weight to your kit. Secure it quickly and firmly with a common 5/32” or 4mm Hex key for a connection you can trust through the most demanding shoots.
