Secure Your Gear with the Rock-Solid Upgrade Innovations 5/8" Baby Pin
In the demanding world of film, video, and photography production, the reliability of your rigging is non-negotiable. Every connection point is critical, and a single point of failure can lead to costly delays or damaged equipment. The Upgrade Innovations 5/8" Baby Pin with a 3/8" Thread is engineered to eliminate that risk, providing a steadfast and versatile mounting solution for gaffers, grips, camera operators, and DITs who refuse to compromise on quality. This isn't just another adapter; it's a foundational piece of grip hardware designed for the rigors of a professional set. Built from a solid piece of high-grade, anodized aircraft aluminum, it offers the perfect balance of exceptional strength and a lightweight profile. You can confidently mount heavy lights, monitors, transmitters, and other essential accessories without adding unnecessary weight to your kit or camera build.
Precision-machined for a perfect fit, this 3-inch baby pin integrates seamlessly into any standard 5/8" receiver on C-stands, clamps, and plates. The thoughtful design extends to its user-friendly features. Frustrated with trying to get a tight grip on smooth pins? We've integrated cross-drilled holes, allowing you to use a standard hex key for superior leverage. This ensures you can wrench the pin down for a completely secure, slip-free connection, and easily loosen it when it's time to pack up, even after a long day on set. This small detail makes a world of difference in workflow efficiency. Available in both male and female 3/8"-16 threaded versions, this baby pin offers unparalleled versatility. Use the male version to screw directly into super clamps or cheese plates, or opt for the female version to add a secure baby pin to any 3/8" male screw. For ultimate adaptability, the female version includes a set screw that can be fixed with Loctite to create a permanent male thread if needed. Stop relying on flimsy, generic adapters and invest in a tool crafted for professionals. Upgrade your rig with the confidence and dependability of Upgrade Innovations.
