The Kupo KS-003 5/8″ Snap in Pin—widely known in the film production industry as a Super Clamp Brass Stud—is an essential, high-reliability rigging adapter designed for commercial cinematographers, studio gaffers, and professional photographers, making it a heavily utilized utility asset for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Engineered specifically to interface with industry-standard Convi Clamps, Super Clamps, or heavy grip receivers, this solid brass stud serves as a mechanical bridge that instantly transforms a clamp base into an operational 5/8-inch (16mm) Baby pin support platform.

When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced corporate video projects, pop-up commercial interviews, or compact fashion shoots in Hong Kong, avoiding mechanical spinning or gear sagging is paramount. The KS-003 stands out with its geometric hexagonal base layout, which matches the internal safety locking receiver of professional studio clamps perfectly. Once snapped in, the faceted sides lock into place mechanically to prevent the pin from rotating loose under cantilevered weight, while its top section provides dual utility with a smooth baby barrel and a integrated $1/4″-20$ male camera thread for mounting compact panels, ball heads, or monitor arms safely.

Applicable Scenarios:

  • Converting Super Clamps into Light Mounts: Snaps directly into standard Convi clamps inside production spaces in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan to quickly hang portable continuous LED panels or flash heads from vertical auto-poles.

  • Low-Profile Monitor Rigging on Location: Pairs with structural office pillars, window frames, or crossbars inside corporate workspaces in Central to float client directors’ monitors safely.

  • Surgical Audio and Wireless Setup: Extends from standard grip pipe clamps to cleanly split or position wireless video transmitters, compact field recorders, or microphone arrays.

  • Solid Brass Mechanical Construction: Premium structural brass engineering completely eliminates physical thread stripping, rust, or fracturing under tight torque parameters.

  • Anti-Twist Hexagonal Base Profile: Faceted geometric bottom layout seats perfectly into super clamp receiver sockets, blocking rotational slippage when holding cantilevered loads.

  • Universal 5/8-Inch (16mm) Baby Stud: Industry-standard outer diameter fits standard studio flash units, portable LED streams, universal grip heads, and field monitors flawlessly.

  • Integrated $1/4″-20$ Male Mounting Tip: Features a standard camera-grade thread at the crown, allowing teams to screw portable ball heads, cold shoes, or mirrorless accessories directly onto the pin base.

  • Safety Click Retention Groove: Incorporates a precision-cut structural indent that allows the clamp’s internal spring-loaded safety pin to catch and prevent the stud from falling out accidentally before tightening.

  • Kupo KS-003 5/8″ Snap-In Brass Pin Adapter x 1

  • (Note: This rental listing covers the standalone snap-in stud adapter only. Convi clamps, super clamps, vertical light stands, universal grip heads, camera bodies, and lighting fixtures are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)

  • Q: Is the super clamp, vertical light stand, or lighting fixture included inside this rental package?
    A: No, it is not. This specific rental listing covers the standalone Kupo KS-003 snap-in pin adapter only. It is intended for production teams who already have their own grip clamps on set or wish to build a custom rigging array. If you need a complete operational solution, please remember to add a standard super clamp (Convi Clamp) or a standard 2.5-inch grip head to your Hong Kong gear allocation.


  • Q: What is the purpose of the hexagonal shaped base at the bottom of the pin?
    A: The hexagonal shape is an anti-twist mechanical design. Standard round pins can spin inside a clamp socket under a side load, causing your light or monitor to sag. The flat geometric faces of this Kupo KS-003 hex stud lock into the receiving clamp socket completely, preventing any rotational twisting even when supporting offset, cantilevered gear.


  • Q: Can I use this brass snap-in pin with other brands of super clamps?
    A: Yes, absolutely. The Kupo KS-003 is precision-manufactured to match standard global industry dimensions. It integrates flawlessly with Kupo Convi Clamps, Manfrotto Super Clamps, and any professional cinema grip clamp that utilizes a standard 5/8-inch (16mm) hexagonal receiver socket with a spring-loaded safety lock mechanism.


  • Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
    A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.


  • Q: Is a deposit required?
    A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.


  • Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
    A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
