Manfrotto 179 Camera Accessories Adapter

Manfrotto 179 Stand Adapter with 3/8´´ Screw and 80mm Disc

Expand the versatility of your lighting and camera support systems with the Manfrotto 179 Stand Adapter. This essential piece of hardware from the Photo-video Accessories category is a must-have for photographers and videographers who need to seamlessly integrate different types of equipment. Designed with Manfrotto´s signature commitment to quality and reliability, the 179 adapter is a robust solution for mounting a wide array of devices in unconventional ways, opening up new creative possibilities for your shoots.

The primary benefit of the Manfrotto 179 is its ability to bridge the gap between standard lighting stands and camera heads. It allows you to securely mount a tripod head, such as a ball head or a fluid video head, directly onto any support with a 5/8´´ (16mm) female socket, like a C-stand, light stand, or even an Autopole system. This transforms your standard lighting support into a stable, elevated platform for a camera, a microphone, or other accessories, providing unique angles and placements that are often impossible to achieve with a traditional tripod.

Stability is paramount when mounting expensive gear, and the Manfrotto 179 is engineered for maximum security. It features a large 3.2´´ (80mm) diameter disc that provides a wide, stable base for the attached head. This increased surface area prevents any wobble or rotation, ensuring your equipment remains perfectly positioned and secure. The integrated, easy-to-grip wing nut allows you to tighten the adapter firmly into the stand´s receiver, guaranteeing a rock-solid connection that won´t loosen during a shoot.

Constructed from high-quality materials for lasting durability, this adapter is built to withstand the demands of professional use in the studio or on location. Its simple yet effective design makes it an indispensable tool for problem-solving on set. Whether you need to mount a second camera for a top-down shot, place a monitor on a light stand for easy viewing, or create a custom support rig, the Manfrotto 179 delivers reliable performance every time.
