Slim Type Half-Coupler W/16mm Stud
$20.00 /day
High-capacity aluminum half-coupler, precision-machined to wrap seamlessly around standard 50mm (2 inches ) outer diameter stage truss tubes or industrial speed rails, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Features an optimized, low-profile slim-type 16mm (5/8 inch) Baby stud to cleanly rig lighting fixtures and grip accessories with absolute mechanical rigidity. (Note: This rental package covers the single coupler assembly only; stands, extensions, and truss tubes are available 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 Slim Type 16mm Stud Half-Coupler (Fits 50mm Tubes)—universally relied upon on heavy-duty commercial stages and film sets as a Standard 50mm Truss Clamp with an Optimized Low-Profile Baby Pin—is a robust, high-safety structural rigging component designed for studio gaffers, key grips, and event technicians, making it a critical asset for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Specifically engineered to wrap tightly around full-sized 50mm rigging pipes, this high-strength aluminum wrap clamp integrates a low-profile, space-saving 16mm mechanical stud to drop compact or tight-clearance lighting fixtures down seamlessly from overhead grid structures.
When executing an equipment hire for complex commercial set builds, fashion runway events, or overhead continuous lighting configurations in Hong Kong, maintaining strict structural load limits and maximizing vertical placement clearance is paramount. While the wrap clamp jaw maintains a standard, heavy-duty industrial width to guarantee an unyielding grip onto 50mm pipes, its slim-type 16mm integrated Baby pin reduces vertical hardware bulk. Equipped with a high-tensile steel locking bolt and an ergonomic wing nut assembly, it secures onto tubes with an unyielding grip, extending its specialized 5/8-inch solid stud downward or horizontally with zero loose play.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Rigging Lighting Fixtures with Tight Clearance: Clamps continuous LED panels or studio strobes cleanly onto permanent ceiling pipe networks inside production spaces in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan, maximizing vertical overhead clearance.
-
Low-Profile Truss System Extensions: Mounts wireless video antennas, compact field recorders, or audio panels directly onto structural scaffolding structures or background horizontal bars.
-
Agile Location Stage Configurations: Anchors onto standard 50mm vertical combo stand columns or speed rails inside event venues in Central to float secondary lighting lines smoothly without breaking the visual timeline.
-
Standard 50mm Inner Diameter Arc Jaws: Tailored explicitly to wrap around standard 50mm film-industry scaffolding tubes, speed rails, and F34 series stage truss lines perfectly.
-
Low-Profile Slim-Type 16mm (5/8″) Baby Stud: Features an optimized, space-saving solid mounting pin that reduces overall hardware extension length for tight clearance rigging.
-
High-Strength Aluminum Alloy Engineering: Premium extruded structural alloy core maximizes vertical and horizontal structural rigidity while maintaining an agile weight footprint.
-
Ergonomic Wing Nut Quick-Locking: Heavy-duty smooth-threaded mechanical bolt pairing allows staging technicians to quickly hand-tighten, lock down, and secure gear safely with no complex tools required.
-
Protective Non-Marring Wide Contact Interior: Designed to apply uniform clamping friction around thick-walled aluminum tubing, completely eliminating structural denting or surface scrapes.

(Note: This rental listing covers the standalone coupler assembly only. Scaffolding pipes, truss segments, C-Stands, universal grip heads, and lighting fixtures are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)
-
Q: Are the vertical support stands, structural stage truss tubes, or lighting fixtures included inside this rental package?
A: No, they are not. This specific rental listing covers the standalone half-coupler hardware with its integrated slim stud only. It is intended for production teams who already have their own pipes on set or wish to configure a custom scaffolding kit. If you require operational framework elements, please remember to add matching 120cm/180cm single truss tubes or robust rolling stands to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
-
Q: Will this half-coupler fit onto thin background support rods or standard light stand columns?
A: No. This half-coupler is precision-machined specifically for pipes with a standard outer diameter of 50mm (2 inches), which is the standard size for professional stage trussing and industrial scaffolding speed rails. It will be way too large to clamp onto thin consumer-grade light stand extensions or 20mm decorative pipes. If you are using thinner tubes, please consider renting our Manfrotto 035 Super Clamp or Kupo Convi Clamp, which adjust dynamically from 13mm up to 55mm.
-
Q: What is meant by “Slim Type” if it still clamps a full-sized 50mm pipe?
A: The term “Slim Type” refers specifically to the low-profile design of the 16mm Baby stud integrated at the base of the clamp. While the upper jaw maintains a full, heavy-duty structural width to grip a standard 50mm pipe safely under high loads, the lower adapter pin is shortened and streamlined. This prevents your lighting fixtures from dropping down too far, saving valuable vertical spacing on tight overhead grids.
-
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.
