Manfrotto 163-12 28mm Male Adapter

The Manfrotto 163-12 is a heavy-duty 28 mm (1-1/8 Junior) male stud with an M12 female thread base, crafted from solid zinc steel. At 14.5 cm tall and 0.75 kg, it is the perfect adapter to mount large lighting fixtures, overhead frames, or butterfly frames directly onto stands or grip heads equipped with an M12 threaded hole, providing a rock-solid, industry-standard Junior receiver connection.

This adapter is designed for heavy rigging, featuring a full-size 28 mm (1-1/8) Junior male pin that fits any standard Junior receiver, while the bottom has a precision M12 female thread that screws securely onto M12 male studs found on certain high-payload stands. Ideal for mounting large softboxes, frames, or fixtures when you need a true Junior pin instead of the usual 16 mm Baby pin.
