I have a boom arm/spigot with an unthreaded 5/8" stud (baby pin) and need to connect it to something with a 3/8" threaded socket. What type of adapter should I use?

With an adapter like this:
That's the Manfrotto 014-38 Rapid Adapter - 5/8" Stud to 3/8" Thread
Note that you can attach the 5/8" pin in either horizontal configuration (through the holes) or vertically (from the bottom).
Specific example for illustrative purpose — you can find these in other brands in various qualities and prices.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
Use a 5/8" stud to 3/8" thread adapter. These adapters are made to clamp or accept the unthreaded 5/8" baby pin/spigot and provide a 3/8" threaded connection on the other side.
A common example is a rapid adapter like the Manfrotto 014-38, but similar adapters are available from other brands. Depending on the design, the 5/8" pin can often be mounted either through the side holes for a horizontal setup or from the bottom for a vertical setup.
The key thing to look for is: 5/8" stud (baby pin) compatibility on one side and 3/8" thread on the other.
