Product Information
Full details
The Manfrotto 014-14 16mm Female Adapter is an essential tool for studio photographers and videographers who need a secure, flexible way to attach 1/4-inch threaded gear to standard light stands. It is perfect for mounting small lights, flashes, or cameras in tight spaces or specific orientations, though users should note it is designed specifically for 5/8-inch light stand studs and requires a compatible 1/4-inch male thread on the equipment side.

FAQs
Can I use this with a tripod?
This adapter is intended for light stands with a 5/8-inch stud. It will not fit standard tripod 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch mounting screws.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
While Manfrotto does not specify a strict weight limit, the aluminium construction is designed to support standard photographic lighting and accessories commonly used with 1/4-inch threads.
Does this adapter include a locking screw?
Yes, it features a built-in locking screw to secure the adapter firmly onto the light stand stud.
Is the material weather resistant?
It is made of aluminium which is rust-resistant, but it should be kept dry and cleaned after use in damp environments.
Can I mount a heavy cinema camera on this?
This adapter is designed for light fixtures and smaller accessories. Always prioritize balance and weight distribution when mounting heavier equipment.
Troubleshooting
Adapter will not fit over the light stand stud
Ensure the light stand uses a standard 5/8-inch stud and check for burrs or physical obstructions on the stud surface.
Equipment wobbles after mounting
Verify that the 1/4-inch thread is fully tightened and that the locking screw on the adapter base is securely fastened to the stand stud.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the adapter, simply slide the 16mm female opening onto the 5/8-inch stud of your light stand. Tighten the locking screw until the adapter is secure and does not rotate on the stud. Once attached, screw your 1/4-inch threaded device into the top of the adapter. For care, keep the threads clean of dust and debris to prevent jamming. If the unit is exposed to moisture or dusty outdoor conditions, wipe it down with a dry microfiber cloth. Do not use chemical solvents on the aluminium finish.
