K&M Stands 21980 Thread Adapter

Reliable Thread Adaptation for AV Gear Integration
The K&M 21980 Thread Adapter is a compact, zinc-plated solution designed to connect components with mismatched threading in audio-visual rigs, camera mounts, and professional recording environments. With a 3/8" female thread and an M10 x 0.472" male thread, this adapter bridges different standards, giving you flexibility when building or modifying equipment setups.

Built to Fit Where Standard Adapters Don’t
This adapter features an external diameter of 0.787", offering a stable contact surface that fits comfortably into tight fixtures or equipment bases. The thoughtfully designed width across flats—measuring 17 mm—enables easy gripping with a wrench for fast installation or removal without slippage, especially when working in confined studio or stage spaces.

Engineered from High-Quality Steel for Durability
Constructed from rugged steel and finished with corrosion-resistant zinc plating, the 21980 adapter is built to endure regular wear in both mobile production rigs and permanent installations. Its material strength ensures secure thread engagement even when supporting weighted accessories or when subject to frequent disassembly and adjustment.

Ideal for Studio, Stage, and Field Applications
Whether you’re mounting a boom arm onto a lighting stand, adapting a mic holder to a different rod size, or linking photo gear to AV support systems, this adapter ensures thread compatibility without compromising strength. It’s designed for users needing precision and reliability across a range of professional AV applications.

Knurled Flat Design for Tool-Assisted Assembly
In environments where tool-assisted setups are common, the width across flats design becomes essential. It ensures a firm grip for tightening the adapter securely, reducing the risk of thread stripping and slippage, especially when time and reliability are critical.
