Securely Mount Your Gear: The Whaley Mini Header to Spigot Adapter
Unlock new levels of stability and versatility on set with the Upgrade Innovations Whaley Mini Header to Spigot Adapter. Designed for the demanding environment of professional film and photo production, this adapter is the ultimate solution for converting any standard light stand or C-stand with a baby pin into a robust, multi-point mounting platform. Say goodbye to wobbly single-point mounts and gear that twists out of position at the worst possible moment. This system provides a compact, reliable, and incredibly secure foundation for your essential accessories.
The core of this system is its ingenious non-twist design. The central spigot adapter anchors securely to the included 9-inch cross rail using a heavy-duty 3/8-16″ bolt, but the real magic comes from the precision-machined dowel pins. These pins physically prevent any rotational movement, ensuring that your monitors, wireless transmitters, lights, and other critical gear remain locked in the exact orientation you set. This rock-solid stability gives you the confidence to build out your rig without worrying about gear drift or a compromised setup. It’s the kind of set-it-and-forget-it reliability that professionals demand.
Engineered for maximum utility, the Whaley Mini Header makes use of our proven 1-inch cross rail from the Whaley Rail II ecosystem, guaranteeing seamless integration with your existing gear. The included pair of 3-inch Baby Pins can be installed at a fixed distance of 8 inches apart, center-to-center. This configuration is perfect for mounting two separate accessories side-by-side or for providing a wider, more stable base for a single, larger piece of equipment. Whether you're building a compact video village station, a mobile lighting rig, or a streamlined camera cart setup, this adapter provides the strong, versatile backbone you need to work efficiently and securely.
