Tooling for solving the adapter
Different stands, mounts, cameras, microphone clips, lights or speaker solutions often use different thread standards.
Gravity thread adapters connect these worlds reliably – for stable, flexible setups on stage, in the studio or in content production.
To quickly find the right tripod adapter, it helps to know the most common thread types: 3/8″, for example, is the common standard for many European microphone stands, while 5/8″ is frequently used on US microphone stands. 1/4″ is typical for cameras and photo/video accessories.
M6, M8 and M10 are often found on brackets, clips, truss and lighting accessories, while M20 and 35 mm are mainly relevant for speaker stands, extension poles, subwoofers and base plates. TV16 is a compact spigot mount for lights.
With Gravity thread adapters, a microphone stand becomes a camera tripod, a speaker stand becomes a light mount, and almost any existing setup becomes a stable base for lighting, audio, rigging or camera applications.
Gravity thread adapters create the right connection – compact, clearly marked and ready for special cases.
And if you really want to be prepared for every special case:
Put together your personal always-with-you special case with the most important adapters – ready whenever your setup needs more flexibility.
Many European microphone stands and boom arms use 3/8″ as the common standard. US microphone stands and US microphone mounts often use 5/8″. Older or more specialised components may also use 1/2″. (Link)
Cameras, action cams and compact photo/video accessories usually use 1/4″. With the right adapter (Link), they can be mounted on microphone stands, boom arms or truss solutions, for example.
Metric threads such as M6, M8 and M10 are commonly used in this area. They are often found on brackets, clips, smaller rigging solutions, truss and lighting accessories. For lights, TV16 is also relevant as a compact spigot mount.
In speaker setups, M20 and 35 mm are especially relevant. M20 is commonly found on subwoofers, base plates and extension poles. 35 mm is the classic standard diameter for speaker mounts and speaker poles. (Link)
First, check which thread or mount your existing stand, base or holder has. Then choose the adapter side that matches your accessory. The key is always the combination of the existing base and the part you want to mount.
Setups often change spontaneously – on stage, in the studio, at events or during content productions. With a small selection of the most important adapters in your own case, you stay flexible and can quickly and securely combine cameras, microphones, lights, mounts or stand components.
