FAQs

What is the primary function of the Manfrotto Cine Adapter - 019?

Its main function is to convert a 28mm female socket (common on cine stands) into a 16mm male spigot (standard for baby stands and many accessories).

What are the dimensions of the adapter?

The adapter has a length of 4.0 cm and weighs 0.14 kg.

Can I use this adapter with any stand?

It is specifically designed for stands with a 28mm female socket. While it converts to a 16mm spigot, the initial connection point must be a 28mm socket.

What is the thread size on the adapter?

The adapter features a 3/8" male thread for additional mounting options.

How do I clean the adapter?

Wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What type of equipment can I attach with this adapter?

You can attach any lighting or grip equipment that utilizes a 16mm male spigot or has a 3/8" female thread for mounting.

Troubleshooting

Adapter does not fit securely onto the stand's socket.

Ensure you are using a stand with a 28mm female socket and that the adapter is fully inserted. Check for any debris obstructing the connection.

Accessory with a 16mm spigot does not attach firmly.

Verify that the accessory's spigot is indeed 16mm and not slightly larger or smaller. If using the 3/8" thread, ensure it's properly aligned and screwed in.

Wobbling or instability after attachment.

Re-seat the adapter and the accessory, ensuring all connections are tight. Check that both the stand's socket and the accessory's spigot are standard sizes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables wider accessory compatibility with Cine stands.
  • Durable and reliable construction for professional environments.
  • Compact and lightweight, easy to transport and attach.
  • Facilitates quick setup changes for different grip needs.

Cons

  • Specific conversion only (28mm to 16mm); not universal.
  • May not be suitable for non-Manfrotto Cine stands if socket dimensions vary.
  • Relies on the integrity of the 3/8" thread for secure attachment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: To set up the Manfrotto Cine Adapter - 019, simply slide the 28mm female socket end onto the corresponding male 28mm receiver on your stand or grip head. Ensure it is fully seated. Then, attach your accessory with a 16mm male spigot to the adapter's male spigot. If your accessory has a 3/8" female thread, use the integrated 3/8" thread on the adapter for a secure fit.

Compatibility: This adapter is designed to convert Manfrotto Cine stands (which typically have a 28mm female socket) to accept equipment with a 16mm male spigot. It also features a 3/8" thread for mounting compatibility. Always verify the socket size on your existing equipment and the spigot size of the accessory you intend to mount.

Care: Keep the adapter clean and free from dust and debris. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Periodically check the 16mm spigot and the 3/8" thread for any signs of wear or damage to ensure a secure connection.
