Revainrating 5 out of 5

I used this receiver to turn a music stand into a studio flash lighting stand

I bought my daughter an expensive music stand to take home for her high school horn lessons. I dreamed of raising a musical prodigy probably lol. Anyway, she's done her freshman year and the tripod hadn't been used in probably 3 years so I took the music stand back to convert it into a photo stand for my studio flashes. I removed the music tray and stayed with the center stand. I saw that the description listed it as a 5/8" receiver so I ordered it hoping for the best. I received it today and it works great! It was pretty tight on the 5/8" B-pillar, but it's very tight tight. I moved it all the way down and pressed the tension button, not to keep it on the rack but to really keep it from spinning. Now that the 1/4" receiver is on top I can add a small ball head or cold shoe and you're done! I love the price of this item, the tight fit tolerances and that it does what it says on the tin very simply. If only the rest of the photos of the items I buy would be the same, thanks Kupo, it gives me so much more confidence in the Kupo line!
