Adapter shaft GlareOne SSAMM14M38 — small male 1/4" to male 3/8"

GlareOne SSAMM14M38 adapter shaft is a compact metal converter that changes a male 1/4" connection into a male 3/8" connection. It is designed to allow attachment of cameras, lights and accessories to tripods, stands and articulating arms with differing thread sizes. The adapter provides a space-saving solution for on-set and location work where quick and reliable connector conversion is required.

Advantages

The adapter is made of metal for durability and stable support of attached equipment. Its compact form factor minimizes added length and preserves balance when mounted on stands or arms. Conversion between 1/4" and 3/8" threads increases compatibility across mounting systems, reducing the need to change stands or use multiple mounting plates. The simple single-piece design requires no additional tools to operate.

Suitable for

• Mounting cameras with 1/4" base to supports with 3/8" female threads
• Attaching lights, monitors or microphones to stands and articulating arms
• Studio setups and field shoots requiring quick thread conversion
• Use with tripods, light stands, boom arms and camera rigs

Key specifications

• Conversion: male 1/4" to male 3/8"
• Material: metal construction for strength and wear resistance
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment
• Profile: compact, low-profile design to minimize extension
• Compatibility: industry-standard 1/4" and 3/8" mounting threads

How to use

Screw the male 1/4" end into the device or plate that accepts a 1/4" female thread, then insert the male 3/8" end into a compatible 3/8" female thread on the tripod, stand or arm. Turn by hand until finger-tight, then secure with moderate additional tightening if required for stability. Inspect the connection before mounting sensitive equipment to ensure threads are fully engaged and load is supported evenly.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter within the load limits of your mounting system; do not exceed the capacity of the supporting tripod or stand. Regularly check for thread wear or corrosion and clean threads to maintain reliable connections. For heavy or valuable equipment, pair the adapter with robust mounting plates and confirm stability before use.
