Product Information
Full details
The 9.Solutions Baby Pin Set is designed for photographers, videographers, and AV technicians who need versatile mounting solutions for gear with 3/8"" threads. Its key benefit is the flexibility to act as two separate 5/8"" pins or combine into a longer one, significantly expanding mounting options. A minor consideration is that it primarily serves devices with existing 3/8"" threads, requiring compatible equipment.

FAQs
What is the primary use of the 9.Solutions Baby Pin Set?
The primary use is to provide versatile 5/8"" mounting points for equipment that has 3/8"" male or female threads, acting as an adapter and extension.
Can I use these pins with standard C-stands?
Yes, if your C-stand head or a clamp attached to it has a 3/8"" female thread, you can screw a pin into it. The 5/8"" pin end will then accept standard grip accessories.
What are the dimensions of each individual pin?
Each individual pin is 3.5 inches long.
What material are the pins made of?
The pins are made of anodized aluminum.
Can I use the pins to mount heavier equipment?
The weight capacity depends on the combined strength of the pin, the equipment it's attached to, and the supporting grip gear. They are generally suitable for standard camera accessories, lights, and monitors.
Is it possible to attach these pins to a 1/4"" thread?
No, these pins are specifically designed for 3/8"" male and female threads. Adapters would be required, but are not included.
Troubleshooting
Pins are difficult to screw together.
Ensure threads are clean and free of debris. Gently clean the threads with a soft brush. Avoid forcing them.
3/8"" thread on pin feels loose in a clamp.
Verify that the clamp has a 3/8""-16 female thread and that it is the correct size. Ensure no thread adapter is being used incorrectly.
Anodized finish shows minor wear.
This is normal wear and tear for frequently used grip equipment. Clean with a soft cloth. The functional integrity of the pin remains unaffected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The 9.Solutions Baby Pin Set is designed for immediate use. To use a single pin, simply screw the desired 3/8"" end (male or female) into a compatible 3/8"" threaded receptor or onto a 3/8"" threaded stud. To combine them, screw the male thread of one pin into the female thread of the other until secure, creating a longer 5/8"" mounting pin.
Compatibility: These pins are compatible with any grip equipment, clamps, stands, or mounting plates that feature a 3/8""-16 female or male thread. The resulting 5/8"" pin is compatible with standard 5/8"" receivers found on most light stands, grip heads, and clamps.
Care: To maintain the anodized finish and ensure smooth operation, clean the pins with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check the threads for debris and clean gently to ensure easy screwing and unscrewing.
