FOCUS CHARLESTON BLACK 18X24

Manfrotto 16mm Female Adapter

The Manfrotto 014BIM Rapidapter is a 90 g aluminum 16 mm (5/8") female socket to 3/8"-16 male screw adapter (62.5 mm height), converting baby receivers on stands or clamps to a 3/8" stud—delivering fast, secure mounting for ball heads, arms, or small fixtures in studio or location setups.

The Manfrotto 014BIM Rapidapter bridges 16 mm baby sockets (Super Clamp, light stands) to a robust 3/8"-16 male thread in a lightweight aluminum body. The 62.5 mm height provides clearance for knob rotation, while the knurled base ensures hand-tightening without tools. CNC-machined for perfect fit and anodized for durability, it’s the ideal converter for gaffers or photographers needing to mount QR heads, magic arms, or monitors on 5/8" receivers—compact at 90 g, it’s the pocket-sized solution for hybrid rigs demanding instant compatibility and zero wobble.
