Overview

The Kupo KG016212 Baby Receiver is a compact mounting adapter designed for studio and on-location production work. It accepts a standard 16mm baby pin — the kind found on most light stands and grip arms — and converts it to a 1/4"-20 female thread, opening up compatibility with cameras, field monitors, shoe-mount accessories, and other gear that uses the ubiquitous 1/4"-20 mounting standard. At just 67mm in length, the receiver adds minimal height to your rigging while maintaining a secure connection.

Built from aluminum 6061, the KG016212 balances durability with portability. The die-cast locking knob with its M6x17 bolt provides firm, tool-free tightening against the baby pin, so you can set up and adjust quickly on set. This is the kind of small but essential grip accessory that solves a specific compatibility problem — when you need to put 1/4"-20 threaded gear on a baby pin stand, this receiver handles it cleanly and reliably.
