Manfrotto 153 5/8" to 48mm Mounting Stud Adapter

The Manfrotto 153 Adapter is a purpose-built mounting accessory that converts a standard 5/8" female receiver into a 48mm-long, 5/8"-diameter male mounting stud. In professional grip and lighting work, the ability to adapt between male and female connection points is a routine necessity, and this adapter provides that conversion reliably. Machined from aluminum, it is both lightweight and strong — weighing just 0.15 lbs while maintaining the structural integrity needed to support mounted equipment securely.

The adapter features a 5/8" male stud on one end and a 5/8" female receiver on the other, making it simple to insert into any standard grip head, clamp, or mounting bracket that accepts the industry-standard baby pin size. At 3.46 inches in total length, it adds minimal extension to your rigging while providing enough stud depth for a firm hold. Manufactured in Italy, the Manfrotto 153 is a small, no-nonsense piece of hardware that belongs in any well-stocked grip kit where equipment compatibility and quick setup changes are priorities.
