Kupo KS-031 Snap in Right Angle Pin

$40.00 /day

The heavy-duty Kupo KS-031 chrome-plated steel snap-in right-angle pin, featuring an anti-twist hexagonal safety base and an elongated L-shape offset profile ending in a standard knurled 5/8-inch (16mm) Baby pin, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Engineered to click directly into standard Convi or Super Clamps to clear architectural obstacles or adjust lighting coordinates cleanly. (Note: This rental package covers the right-angle pin only; grip 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-031 Snap in Right Angle Pin—frequently called an L-Pin or Right Angle Super Clamp Stud in the film industry—is an essential, highly practical lighting relocation utility designed for professional studio gaffers, cinematographers, and production grip crews, making it a reliable choice for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Engineered to provide crucial horizontal displacement where a standard straight stud would hit structural barriers or cause light panels to collide with columns, this high-tensile solid steel pin features an integrated right-angle design.

When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced corporate video projects, compact retail store setups, or commercial portrait sessions in Hong Kong, maximizing rigging flexibility in tight locations is vital. The KS-031 features an anti-twist hexagonal base that snaps instantly into standard Convi Clamps or Super Clamps, while its extended arm drops down or reaches sideways to finish in a standard 5/8-inch (16mm) baby pin with a textured knurled crown. This configuration allows production crews to float small continuous LED panels, portable flash heads, or monitor arrays past structural blockages with absolute mechanical rigidity and zero physical play.

Applicable Scenarios:

Hiding Stands and Clamps Behind Barriers: Extends portable LED light panels cleanly around pillars, doors, or partitions inside office locations in Central while keeping structural columns out of frame.
Low-Profile Top Grid Adjustments: Snaps into clamps locked on overhead studio pipe grids or scaffolding frames inside studios in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan to lower small fixtures slightly past architectural ceilings.
Surgical Tabletop Monitor Placement: Extends small field monitors, wireless video arrays, or pocket accessories precisely over highly reflective surfaces or compact table setups.

Rugged One-Piece Fixed Right-Angle Build: High-strength plated solid steel L-shape architecture completely eliminates mechanical play, maintaining a strict $90^\circ$ offset geometry.
Anti-Twist Hexagonal Base Profile: Faceted geometric bottom layout seats perfectly into super clamp receiver sockets, completely blocking rotational slippage under cantilevered offset loads.
Knurled 5/8-Inch (16mm) Baby Output Pin: Industry-standard outer barrel features a diamond cross-hatch pattern to provide a high-friction grip that prevents attached gear from spinning loose.
Safety Click Retention Groove: Incorporates a precision-machined mechanical indent that allows a super clamp’s internal safety pin to catch and prevent the stud from falling out accidentally before locking.
Durable Chrome-Plated Steel Finish: Premium zinc/chrome coated finish minimizes physical wear and rust while standing up to harsh on-set handling.

Kupo KS-031 Snap-In Right Angle Pin Adapter (L-Pin) x 1
(Note: This rental listing covers the standalone right-angle extension pin only. Convi clamps, super clamps, vertical light stands, universal grip heads, 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-031 right-angle pin 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 require a complete operational solution, please remember to add matching super clamps (Convi Clamps) or robust C-Stands to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
Q: What is the main advantage of using this right-angle L-pin over a standard straight hex stud?
A: A standard straight hex stud positions your light fixture directly flush against the clamp socket, which often causes the physical chassis of your light or softbox to hit the wall or stand column, restricting your tilt angles. This Kupo KS-031 right-angle pin features an extended L-shape offset profile that moves your mounting point outwards and drops it at a clean $90^\circ$ angle, giving your continuous light or monitor complete clearance to tilt and pan freely.
Q: Can this steel right-angle pin handle heavy cinema fixtures safely?
A: The Kupo KS-031 is precision-manufactured from solid high-strength steel built to handle rugged production accessories. However, because it creates a significant horizontal leverage arm (cantilevered load) away from your clamp, it is ideal for small to mid-sized continuous LED panels, studio strobes, and field monitors. Always ensure your receiving super clamp is locked down tightly onto a rigid steel pipe or heavy stand column to ensure absolute safety on set.
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.
