Kupo KG090912 Double-Ended Spigot

In a grip package, the details that look least impressive on paper often matter most on set. The Kupo KG090912 Double-Ended Spigot is that kind of hardware — a solid brass adapter that bridges the 5/8" baby pin world of grip clamps and receivers to the 1/4"-20 thread standard of cameras and accessories. It exists to solve a specific rigging problem: you have a grip head or convi clamp mounted, and the accessory you need to attach — a small LED fixture, a monitor arm, a microphone holder — has a 1/4"-20 thread and nothing else. Without this spigot, your options are improvised. With it, you have a clean, professional interface that seats firmly in the receiver and holds the accessory at the angle you set.

The material choice is deliberate. Solid brass resists the thread galling and deformation that makes cheap aluminum spigots unreliable after a few hundred production days. The knurled neck is not decorative — it provides enough surface friction to hand-tighten to production-secure torque levels without reaching for a wrench, which matters when you're dressing a set quickly and need hardware that responds to your hands. The baby pin end seats without play in standard Super Convi Clamps and equivalent grip receivers, and the geometry is precise enough that there's no wobble or creep once tightened. This is the kind of small-format grip hardware you buy once, put in the bottom of the bag, and rely on for years.
