Title: Stud Adaptor for manfrotto super clamp?
Post by: MakersMarc on March 29, 2018, 12:55:44 PM: So just bought used here and the standard thread is too small. Does anyone know what I need to attach an A20s?

Thanks!

I recently ordered super clamp accessories from the official site: https://www.manfrottospares.com/035-parts.html
035 is the base part number for the clamp
036.xx are the part numbers for the stud accessories which work with this clamp: the one linked is what I purchased and is NOT the one I wanted. The second cite might be what you are seeking
https://www.manfrottospares.com/036-14-lighting-stud-1-4--
https://www.manfrottospares.com/036mr-lighting-stud-mr-plugs-into-super-clamp-035/

shipping was fast, but not 2 day as they ship from Germany
I don't use an A20 so hopefully the link gets you to the right part OR someone can chime in here.

Great idea thanks Kris!

I went into a music store on my way to Montana to see SCI and they had the adapter I needed. They sell all sorts of light and music ( mic ) stands and there are various adapters to make things work together.

Kind offer. :coolguy:
I do like the idea of going to the camera store for parts, they are usually helpful.

The a20 is 5/8" (but comes with adapter to 3/8") If the stud you have is 1/4" or your adapter is missing, then this will fix your problem.

you could also pick up a reversible stud with 3/8 and 1/4 ends if you do have the 3/8 adapter for the A20

I like to keep all sorts of adapters and spares in my bag, never know what you'll need in a pinch.
