This does exactly what I needed it to do. My light stand connection was jut a fraction too small and that made my light wobble. Now everything is tight and secure.

Baby Pin is where it's at

After decades of being used to the standard 5/8 Manfrotto pin I discovered a Matthews Baby Pin. I bought this adapter to make all of my Manfrotto stands be able to use booms which require a 5/8 baby pin. You do need a Manfrotto 119 Short Adapter Spigot to screw on to the standard Manfrotto pin found on most of theor lightstands. Luckily I had one laying around.

question

How long is the upper part, that is, the part above the wide section that has the screw lock? I'm looking for something that will allow my Matthews Hollywood arm to sit on my Manfrotto light stands more securely (i.e., sit on a stud long enough to use the whole length of the mounting hole in the Hollywood arm. B&H # MAHWHA40B. The other studs I've tried won't allow the hole in the arm to go fully down onto the mounting stud on the light stand.
