Comments about Manfrotto 014-38 Rapid Adapter - 5/8" Stud to 3/8" Thread:
I bought this mainly for mounting an HD monitor on a lightstand for quick setups on location. Of course, since then I've found many other uses for this part. You have 2 ways of mounting to a lightstand, super clamp, Israeli arm, etc. You can attach it vertically or horizontally. With adaptors, you can attach mics, lights, monitors, and many other items. It's cheap, buy one!

Use this to mount microphones to Avenger F1000 suction cups. They get the job done. Would prefer a more solid metal wingnut.

I keep a couple of these along with the 1/4" threaded version. If you work with light stands and other grip equipment, you'll probably run into a need for these.
Typical solid Manfrotto quality. Good construction at an okay price.

Nice light to medium duty adapter. Works well with small lighting instruments. Would recommend using a lock nut on larger yokes.
