Bracket Manfrotto 244ADPT38AA — black flashlight accessory bracket, compatible with any brand

The Manfrotto 244ADPT38AA adapter provides a compact, low-profile solution for attaching lights and accessories to camera rigs, monitors, LED panels and tripods using the common Arri-style two-pin interface. It combines a 3/8" threaded mount with two anti-rotation pins on a reversible steel plate so you can choose between a pinned Arri-style fit or a plain 3/8" thread when pins are not required. The bracket is lightweight and designed for on-camera or rig-mounted lighting setups where secure fixing and small size matter.

Advantages

This adapter delivers reliable anti-rotation fixing and a solid mechanical connection thanks to the two pins and tightening knob. The reversible steel plate increases versatility by allowing use either with the anti-rotation pins engaged or as a simple 3/8" threaded stud. Its compact dimensions and light weight make it easy to integrate into existing 244 Mini and Micro variable friction arms as well as other support systems.

Suitable for

• Mounting on camera housing rigs and cages
• Attaching monitors and small LED panels
• Fixing on tripods and light stands with 3/8" threads
• Use with Manfrotto 244 Mini and Micro arms and similar support arms

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is intended for small to medium accessories and lighting equipment; it is not designed as a primary heavy-load support for large fixtures. For very heavy or unusually shaped equipment, a dedicated heavy-duty mounting solution should be considered.

Key specifications

• Attachment interface: Arri-style two-pin anti-rotation or plain 3/8" thread (reversible plate)
• Thread size: 3/8"
• Material: steel reversible plate with tightening knob

How to use

Fit the adapter to the accessory or rig by aligning the anti-rotation pins with the mating Arri-style socket and tighten the knob to secure the connection. To use the plain 3/8" thread, reverse the steel plate so the pins are not protruding and screw the adapter into the female 3/8" thread on your equipment. When attaching to variable friction arms such as the 244 Mini and Micro, fasten the adapter according to the arm manufacturer’s instructions to ensure correct leverage and load distribution.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility of your accessory or rig with Arri-style two-pin sockets or 3/8" female threads
• Weight and size of the equipment you plan to mount
• Need for reversible pinned or plain-thread mounting

Usage recommendations

For secure mounting, ensure the anti-rotation pins are fully engaged with the mating socket before tightening. Periodically check the tightening knob and screw for loosening during extended shoots.
