effortlessly transforms your photo tripod into a mic stand.
I have a bunch of these, to transform a range of photo tripods into mic stands.
I'm a field recordist, so I take my gear out to strange places sometimes, including rain forests, arctic tundra's, mountains, savannah, dunes, and cities off course.
normal mic stands are cumbersome in these type of places. and light mic stands can't really hold a stereo bar with two blimps. So the solution is to use photo tripods, which are much better suited to this rough terrain, are also a lot lighter (and when you need to hike 2 hours to get somewhere, that's important), and they easily fit into a bag that can travel with you on the plane. Their wider base (depending on which tripod), also provides stability.
But off course they come with the wrong thread, and these adaptors fix that. Using them I have put a range of blimps, stereobars with 2 blimps and other mike clamps on photo tripods. They fit together very well. Often not even loosening when you hike a while with the blimp attached to the tripod. (and using the quick release of a tripod, you can quickly seperate the blimp from the tripod).
I even use them on larger gorillapods to hold lightweight mics and hang them into trees.
Only problem might be that sometimes they fit a tad too well and you might have difficulty getting them off the quick release plate of the tripod again. but I have a leatherman or other pliers with me in those instances.

Use your camera tripod as mic stand!
I bought this to solve a specific problem: I wanted to use my standard camera tripod as a microphone stand. I didn't really want to spend money on a mic stand as I don't have space for another stand. Instead, after having researched this issue, I found out that it would be very easy to convert my tripod to a mic stand.
It fits right into the clamp of t.bone MB85 Beta microphone and then I can mount it to a fairly standard camera tripod. Since I can't share links here, please search my nickname on Google and see how Manfrotto 088 works in this scenario with my detailed photos. Thank you Thomann :)

Does the job.
I'm using it to mount my Rode Blimp on a tripod. Works perfectly fine for that task.

Incredibly useful for microphones!
I bought this specifically to use on a tall (4.5m) lighting stand, as it allows my to attach microphone bars to it for recording with mic arrays at a height. Really useful!!! And good quality too.

For attaching a mic to camera tripod
I don't use mics very often but recently bought the Sonarworks Reference mic so I could measure my room acoustics. I didn't want to buy a mic stand as I have a few camera tripods. A bit of online searching suggested this little adaptor which in combination with a little mic clamp allows me to use my tripods. So I spent about €6 euro. Nice little saving there. :)

Does what it ought to
This works well and allows you to attach a microphone clip with a standard 3/8 " fitting to a camera tripod (1/4 "). I find this useful for field recording where the bulk and weight of a studio mic stand makes it less portable. I use a cheap aluminium camera tripod instead.

Perfect adapter
I needed a converter between my Manfrotto photo tripod (1/4") and a stereo microphone bar (3/8") and this little thing fit the bill perfectly. There is not much to such an object, but this piece delivered without a fault. Well machined piece of brass, nothing more, nothing less, did the job perfectly.

(the missing bit with my audio interface)
I've gifted me a brand new RME Fireface Pro. Great, sounds neat and boundless, feels sturdy and has near-zero latency... what's not to love in it?
Well, one thing it was: non-existing desktop estate is its only limit, or better put, the only environmente in which its size and shape gets in the way of an otherwise wonderful usage experience.
Enter the Manfrotto 1/4-to-3/8" adapter: it allows to use a generic, buy-it-everywhere, digital-camera mini-tripod, to hold the RME Fireface Pro standing upright, cables flowing neatly around it, even in the tiniest of spaces (like the desks in the hotel rooms where I just too often use it while on the road).
Funny how a simple think, a tiny piece of hardware can really change the way you feel about using it!

Good quality product
Good quality product if you want to fix tight the mic holders on the stereo bar f.e.

Handy little fixture
A very convenient adaptor fixture allowing a smaller thread device to fit a larger general thread. Good, tough quality - long lasting and hard wearing, and a very good build quality overall. I'm very satisfied with this product and would recommend.
