GlareOne Fatboy Baby Pin - 10 cm double-ended stud with 1/4"-20 and 5/8" mounts

GlareOne Fatboy Baby Pin is a 10 cm double-ended stud designed to provide a reliable mechanical connection between photographic and video equipment with 1/4"-20 and 5/8" (baby) fittings. One end features a standard 1/4"-20 screw for cameras, accessories and small fixtures, while the opposite end offers a 5/8" baby receiver for light stands, arms and modifiers. The compact, robust metal construction makes this adapter suitable for studio and location work where a secure transition between small-threaded devices and baby fittings is required.

Advantages

The Fatboy Baby Pin combines two common mounting interfaces in a single, compact adapter that saves time when rigging lights and accessories. Its 10 cm length provides adequate reach and separation between attached devices while maintaining a low profile. Constructed for mechanical strength and stable support, it reduces the need for additional clamps or plates when converting between 1/4"-20 and 5/8" connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting cameras or small accessories with 1/4"-20 threads to light stands or arms with 5/8" baby receivers
• Mounting lights, speedlights or small fixtures onto baby studs or receivers
• On-location rigs and studio setups where threaded-to-baby conversion is needed

Key specifications

• Length: 10 cm (approx.)
• One end: 1/4"-20 male thread
• Other end: 5/8" (baby) female receiver
• Material: metal construction for mechanical strength
• Finish: durable surface treatment to resist wear

How to use

Attach the 1/4"-20 threaded end to the camera, accessory or fixture by screwing it in until secure. Insert the 5/8" baby receiver over a compatible baby stud or pin on a stand, arm or bracket and tighten any locking collars or set screws on the receiving mount if present. Verify the connection is stable before supporting any weight and adjust orientation as required for your setup. When disassembling, support both components and unscrew carefully to avoid cross-threading.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter within the load capacity of the receiving stand or arm and avoid overloading with heavy fixtures. Regularly inspect threads and the receiver for wear or damage and ensure all connections are tightened appropriately before operation.
