Kupo KS-008 Joining Stud / Swivel

$20.00 /day

The heavy-duty Kupo KS-008 structural solid joining stud, featuring dual 5/8-inch (16mm) Baby pins with anti-twist hexagonal ends, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Engineered from rugged zinc-plated steel to lock two super clamps or grip accessories together with absolute mechanical rigidity. (Note: This rental package covers the joining stud only; clamps and stands are available for rent separately.)

A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.

The Kupo KS-008 Joining Stud—widely known in the film production industry as a Double Hex Baby Pin or Super Clamp Alignment Stud—is a fundamental, ultra-secure structural rigging adapter designed for professional studio gaffers, cinematographers, and production grip crews, making it a heavily utilized utility asset for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Engineered specifically to bridge two independent super clamps (Convi Clamps) together with zero structural play, this high-tensile steel adapter provides a completely solid connection where standard round pins or swivel joints might flex or slip under shifting loads.

When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced commercial sets, corporate video projects, or daylight fashion shoots in Hong Kong, preventing mechanical twisting in your grid rigging is paramount. The KS-008 stands out with its dual-ended geometric hexagonal base profile, which matches the internal safety locking receiver of professional studio clamps perfectly on both sides. Once snapped in and tightened, it creates an absolute, non-slip physical link, allowing crews to connect crossbar pipes, background arrays, or specialized grip frames directly to existing columns or stands with total peace of mind.

Applicable Scenarios:

Rigidly Bridging Two Super Clamps: Snaps directly into two separate Convi clamps inside production spaces in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan to lock a secondary support pipe or crossbar firmly to a vertical stand column.
Stable Cross-Beam Background Rigging: Connects custom background support pipes or extension rails together in a perfectly straight line, maximizing spatial efficiency inside tight location layouts.
Heavy-Duty Grid Extensions: Interlocks multiple grid couplers or structural clamps together onto lighting trusses to expand high-power fixture rigging configurations safely.

Solid Anti-Twist Single-Piece Build: One-piece fixed steel design completely eliminates rotating or mechanical play, ensuring absolute rigid stability between connected hardware.
Dual Anti-Slip Hexagonal Profiles: Faceted geometric ends seat perfectly into super clamp receiver sockets, completely blocking rotational slippage under cantilevered offset loads.
Heavy-Duty High-Tensile Steel Build: Industrial-grade solid steel engineering eliminates physical shearing or bending under severe structural payload tracking.
Safety Click Retention Grooves: Incorporates precision-machined mechanical indents on both shafts, allowing a super clamp’s internal safety pin to catch and prevent the stud from slipping out before locking.
Corrosion-Resistant Zinc Coating: Finished with a premium zinc-plated treatment that resists harsh environmental exposure, rust, and demanding on-set handling.

Kupo KS-008 Solid Joining Stud Adapter (Double Hex Pin) x 1
(Note: This rental listing covers the standalone solid joining stud only. Convi clamps, super clamps, C-Stands, universal grip heads, extension arms, 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-008 solid joining stud only. It is intended for production teams who already have their own grip clamps on set or wish to configure a custom rigging array. If you need a complete operational solution, please remember to add matching super clamps (Convi Clamps) or robust C-Stands to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
Q: Does this specific Kupo KS-008 stud feature a built-in swivel or rotation mechanism?
A: No, it does not. This version of the Kupo KS-008 is a solid, one-piece fixed metal stud featuring double hexagonal ends. It is designed for absolute rigidity to lock two accessories firmly in place without any turning or spinning. If your set requires full $360^\circ$ angular movement, please look for our dedicated articulating swivel adapter listings.
Q: Can I use this double hex pin with other brands of super clamps?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Kupo KS-008 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.
