What is the primary function of the Manfrotto 195 Adapter?
The Manfrotto 195 Adapter allows you to mount accessories with a 1/4""-20 female thread onto equipment that has a 5/8 inch (16 mm) receiver.
What material is the adapter made from?
The adapter is constructed from brass for durability.
What are the dimensions of the adapter?
The product length is 34 mm and it weighs 60 g.
Can I use this adapter with any tripod head?
This adapter is designed to fit into a 5/8 inch (16 mm) receiver. You would attach your tripod head (if it has a 1/4""-20 screw) to the adapter, and the adapter would then mount onto a stand or grip with a 5/8 inch receiver.
Is this adapter suitable for heavy cameras?
While durable, it is designed for accessories and smaller cameras. Always ensure the combined weight does not exceed the load capacity of your stand or mount.
How should I clean the adapter?

Troubleshooting
Adapter does not fit securely into the receiver.
Ensure the receiver on your stand or clamp is indeed a 5/8 inch (16 mm) diameter. This adapter is not compatible with other receiver sizes.
Accessory with 1/4""-20 thread does not screw into the adapter.
Verify that the accessory has a standard 1/4""-20 female thread. Ensure no debris is obstructing the adapter's threads.
Accessory feels loose after mounting.
Tighten the accessory into the adapter firmly. Ensure the adapter itself is securely seated in the 5/8 inch receiver. For heavier setups, consider using a locking mechanism if available on your accessory or receiver.
