Manfrotto 014-38 Reviews
Sturdy and reliable
This piece of hardware is perfect to secure my lights to my light stands.
Quick way to mount a Crane 3S to a Steadicam arm
I used this to attach my Crane 3S to the Thanos Pro II stabilizing arm and vest to reduce the weight on my arms. I was able to shoot for almost an hour without really feeling much fatigue.
Surprisingly useful!
It grips a boom arm well in order to mount a ballhead and my camera for an overhead camera rig.
Excellent lighting accessory
These units are very well made. These adapters allow the placement of tripod heads or other 3/8 16 accessories on a light stand. I recommend them highly!!
useful
stronger grip than the generic ones
Strong and works well
Only one moving part but this seems to be well machined and holds a 2 battery operated Quazar tube with ease.
Always bring a couple of these
These have totally revived some of my older, knock-around lightstands-- can now use them for accent lights, iPhone tripods, or last-minute shotgun mic mounts. A great little accessory.
Poor design
My intent was to use this product on the 5/8 extension arm pf a c-stand. I wanted to hang my Cannon 5D from the set up for overhead food photography. However the locking mechanism does not hold very well on a smooth round surface. I have also tightened the screw to the pint where it started to damage the extension bar. I hung the camera and could not ever keep it level with the lens holding in a vertical plane. So, this is a useless and disappointing purchase. I'm now back to the drawing board for a better and more stable overhead setup.
