Kupo KS-148 3 Way 5/8” Baby Pin Adapter
$50.00 /day
The heavy-duty Kupo KS-148 3-way 5/8-inch (16mm) Baby pin adapter splitter, engineered from high-strength zinc-plated steel, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Built to convert a single light stand top pin or grip receiver into three distinct Baby pin mounting points, maximizing rigging volume on active commercial sets. (Note: This rental package covers the multi-pin adapter only; stands and clamps 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-148 3 Way 5/8” Baby Pin Adapter—widely referred to in the film industry as a 3-Way Baby Pin Splitter or Tree Adapter—is an essential, highly versatile structural rigging tool designed for professional studio gaffers, cinematographers, and commercial photographers, making it a heavily requested asset for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Engineered to optimize stand allocation where workspace real estate is limited, this solid steel component features a universal bottom receiver that drops onto any standard 16mm (5/8-inch) Baby pin. Once locked, it splits into three independent 5/8-inch Baby pin mounting shafts, oriented vertically and horizontally.
When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced commercial sets, compact corporate video configurations, or multi-light retail shoots in Hong Kong, maximizing light cluster density without crowding the floor with extra stands saves vital production minutes. The KS-148 slides cleanly onto C-Stands, combo stands, or extension boom arms. This allows local grip crews to mount multiple continuous LED panels, studio strobes, small flags, or remote monitor arrays safely onto a single heavy-duty stand infrastructure, providing absolute mechanical rigidity and eliminating loose physical wobbling.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Multi-Light Head Portrait Clusters: Mounts up to three small continuous LED light panels or strobes onto a single support stand inside creative studios in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan to build an intense, clustered key light source.
-
Compact Interview Cross-Key Rigging: Sets up a key light and a fill source side-by-side on one stand during corporate video projects in Central, minimizing floor footprint inside tight office boardrooms.
-
Surgical Accessory and Monitor Array Mounting: Fits onto standard grip heads to cleanly split mounting paths for an external director’s monitor, wireless video receiver, and audio recorder on a single production rig.
-
Innovative 3-Way Multi-Pin Splitting: Converts a single standalone 5/8-inch Baby pin into three distinct 16mm mounting points, tripling your accessory mounting paths per stand.
-
Heavy-Duty High-Tensile Steel Build: Industrial-grade solid steel engineering completely eliminates physical flexing, shearing, or bending under heavy multi-fixture loads.
-
Universal 5/8-Inch (16mm) Integration: Features a bottom baby receiver socket paired with three standard outer baby pin shafts, interfacing flawlessly with standard film industry grip gear.
-
Secure Ergonomic Locking T-Knob: Equipped with a rugged threaded metal locking handle that tightens firmly against supporting stand pins to prevent mechanical twisting or slippage.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Zinc Coating: Finished with a premium zinc-plated treatment that resists harsh environmental exposure, rust, and demanding on-set handling.

-
(Note: This rental listing covers the standalone multi-pin adapter tool only. C-Stands, combo stands, universal grip heads, extension arms, and lighting fixtures are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)
-
Q: Is the vertical light stand, grip head, or lighting fixture included inside this rental package?
A: No, it is not. This specific rental listing covers the standalone Kupo KS-148 3-way adapter splitter only. It is intended for production teams who already have their own heavy-duty stands or wish to configure a custom rigging setup. If you require a complete support solution, please remember to add a matching C-Stand, combo stand, or standard grip clamps to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
-
Q: What is the exact physical layout and orientation of the three baby pins?
A: The KS-148 features a hollowed bottom 5/8-inch female receiver to slide onto your stand. On the top section, it splits into three standard 5/8-inch (16mm) male baby pins: one pin points straight up vertically, while the other two pins extend outward horizontally on opposing left and right sides. This provides clean physical clearance to mount multiple lights or modifiers without them colliding.
-
Q: Can this steel adapter handle multiple heavy cinema fixtures safely at the same time?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Kupo KS-148 is manufactured from solid high-strength steel specifically engineered to handle multi-light configurations. However, because you are concentrating up to three items onto a single light stand, you must ensure that your supporting stand (such as a heavy-duty C-Stand or steel Combo Stand) can handle the total combined weight, and you should always place a heavy sandbag over the stand’s base for maximum safety.
-
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.
