4PCS Light Stand Adapter Aluminum Rapid Adapter Convert with 1/4" Screw DSLR Mount Bracket Multi Functional Mount Bracket Adapter, Photo Studio, L...

Ive been using these for years for attaching microphone holders to C-Stands and other lighting stands. Its always good to have a few spares stashed in the kit for video monitors and small lights anything you need to attach to a light stand.

If weight is an issue, then this converter can hold anything with a 1/4 by 20 socket. Sometimes you need a small light stand to hold a small LED, and this adapter is perfect for that. I have used this to hold small microphones and fill lights without any problems. I like that I can now use my smaller stands and tripods (with adapters) and leave my big rolling bag and c-stands at home.

The fit and finish on these lighting pin adapters isn't the best, but they are functional. The opening that fits over the pin is offset to allow for a thicker section of material for more threads where the screw goes through the body. But this also makes the opposite side of the tube thinner. I've seen others like this though so it's probably not that big of a deal. They are just not as robustly designed as some others. The vertical fit was fine when I tried them out, though it took a bit of extra effort to get them on the pin in the horizontal position the first time. I believe there was a burr left behind on the screw threads sticking out that prevented the adapter from sliding down easily. Once I got it on though, it fit well after that and didn't hang. I wouldn't trust these with anything heavy on them, but for light use they are fine.

While I definitely prefer the CAMVATE design for this type of Baby (5/8" diameter) Pin Receiver with 1/4"-20 Male Thread and a 1/4"-20 Hex Nut, this is an a decent design and I can't argue with the price.
