The premium Kupo KS-026 solid brass camera stud adapter, featuring a standard 5/8-inch (16mm) Baby pin body with an anti-twist hexagonal safety base and a standard $1/4″-20$ male thread tip, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Engineered to click directly into Convi or Super Clamps to provide an immediate, rigid mounting interface for compact cameras, wireless gear, or lightweight accessories.

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-026 Camera Stud 1/4″-20 Thread—widely known in the commercial film industry as a Super Clamp Hex Base 1/4″ Stud—is an essential, high-reliability technical rigging adapter designed for professional cinematographers, content creators, and studio camera assistants, making it a heavily utilized utility asset for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Engineered specifically to interface with industry-standard Convi Clamps or Super Clamps, this solid brass stud serves as a mechanical bridge that instantly transforms a clamp base into an operational accessory mount.
When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced corporate video projects, compact retail store setups, or commercial portrait sessions in Hong Kong, avoiding mechanical spinning or gear sagging under offset payloads is vital. The KS-026 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 a standard male $1/4″-20$ thread for mounting mirrorless camera bodies, portable LED panels, compact ball heads, wireless video transmitters, or field monitors safely.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Mounting Portable LED Panels onto Super Clamps: Snaps directly into a standard Convi clamp locked onto an auto-pole, pipe grid, or C-Stand column inside production spaces in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan to float compact filler lights.
-
Low-Profile Accessory Rigging on Location: Pairs with structural office pillars, window handrails, or vertical truss columns inside corporate workspaces in Central to secure secondary action cams or small mirrorless setups.
-
Surgical Wireless Gear Placement: Extends from standard grip pipe clamps to cleanly mount wireless video transmitters, compact field audio recorders, or specialized articulating arms without cluttering the floor set.
-
Solid Brass Mechanical Construction: Premium structural brass engineering completely eliminates physical thread stripping, rust, or fracturing under tight torque parameters on set.
-
Anti-Twist Hexagonal Base Profile: Faceted geometric bottom layout seats perfectly into super clamp receiver sockets, blocking rotational slippage when holding offset cantilevered loads.
-
Standard 5/8-Inch (16mm) Baby Profile Pin: Universal outer barrel matches standard film industry baby receivers, grip heads, wall plates, and light stand sockets flawlessly.
-
Standard $1/4″-20$ Male Rigging Thread: Industry-standard small camera thread interfaces perfectly with mirrorless camera bases, quick-release plates, cold shoes, and monitor cages.
-
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.

-
(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 wireless systems 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-026 hex base camera stud adapter 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 a standard super clamp (Convi Clamp) or a standard 2.5-inch grip head to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
-
Q: What is the main structural difference between this KS-026 stud and the larger KS-025 stud?
A: Both studs feature the anti-twist hexagonal base for super clamps. However, the KS-025 features a thicker $3/8″-16$ thread tip, which is built for professional fluid heads, heavy photography ball heads, or large cinema camera cages. This Kupo KS-026 stud features a smaller $1/4″-20$ thread tip, which is the universal standard required to screw directly into standard mirrorless camera bases, small continuous LED light panels, portable flash units, or field monitor cages.
-
Q: Can this brass snap-in pin be used with other brands of super clamps?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Kupo KS-026 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.
-
