Overview

The Kupo KG400912 Double Baby Receiver transforms any fixed 5/8" baby pin into a fully articulating mount, giving photographers the flexibility to angle lights precisely without repositioning entire stands. This grip head excels in studio work where you need to fine-tune key light positions or add subtle fill adjustments throughout a session.

Built with robust metal construction, the grip head features a ratcheted locking handle that provides confident grip strength across all axes of movement. The dual-compatibility design works seamlessly with both baby pin and junior receiver systems by simply removing the locking screws, making it a versatile problem-solver for mixed lighting setups. While it adds some weight and complexity to your rig, the precision control it enables makes it indispensable for demanding lighting scenarios.
