The Conversion Socket 5/8" Female to 5/8" Female from Impact is a useful accessory that can be employed to convert the male 5/8" stud on a stand, for example, to a female 5/8" receiver. An alternate use would be joining two 5/8" studs together or joining grip gear like extension arms that also have 5/8" studs.

The hex set screw stripped on the first use, and it took several hours to get it undone (I didn't have tools on site). I'm going to order the Manfrotto 158 instead (I may replace this set screw with a slotted set screw). I know that slotted screws tend to strip more easily, but this item didn't last an hour. Very inconvenient to say the least.
Like the title says, I use this adapter to mount my articulating arms to light stands. I may get around to replacing the set screw with another knob screw.
