Manfrotto M10 Socket to 5/8 inch Plug Thread Adapter

Mixing gear from different brands often means running into incompatible thread sizes. The Manfrotto 187 adapter solves that by converting an M10 female thread into a standard 5/8" male spigot, so you can mount lights, microphones, and accessories without extra rigging or unstable workarounds.
