Questions & Answers

Shopper : Hello, i have a tripod head with a 1/4-20 thread stud, and i would like to fit my tripod head on it, but it has a 3/8 thread system.Can anyone tell me if a "stud-sleeve" exist to enlarge the tripod head stud to 3/8 ?, to allow my tripod head to correctly fit it? Thanks. Eric.CHUCK H : The Wimberley BS-100 3/8-16 to 1/4-20 bushing will do exactly that. I've mounted h a large 3-axis head on a more compact tripod using this device.ANDREW M : Manfrotto 088 1/4 20 female to 3/8 male appears to be what you are looking for.ERIKA R : Yes. I had exactly the same problem and was advised to get the Wimberley BS-100 3/8-16 to 1/4-20 Brass Reducer Bushing. I did and it works just fine. I highly recommend it.JOSH M : A 1/4-20 thread sleeve works very well for this. Just keep in mind that as you turn the head, the sleeve will get very tight. The brass kind with the slot for a screw drive is the kind I would recommend.THOMAS N : I purchased this for exactly the same reason. It worked great for me.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JOHN P : Quality brand.JAMES H : Never enough of these little adapters in the bag.OSCAR F : Easy to find and easy to order from Adorama!George G : to make my own adaptersA J : Best Quality adapter.JOHN S : Need to fit my Sony 400 mm telephoto to the Wimberley Sidekick gimbel head.

Works perfectly

This bushing permitted me to mount a large 3-axis head on a more compact tripod. It reduced the mounting hole in the head from 3/8-16 so that I could fit it to the tripod, which has a 1/4-20 mounting screw

The best when used on a Giottos ballhead

I have used this bushing many times on Giottos ballhead to reduce the 3/8" hole to accept 1/4 bolts. The flange (lip) of most 3/8" to 1/4" bushing is just too thick. This Wemberley bushing has a smaller flange and fits perfectly.

How can you seamlessly adapt your larger telephoto lenses to fit smaller mounts The answer lies in the Wimberley BS-100 Brass Reducer Bushing. Expertly designed to screw into the female threading on the tripod collars of larger telephoto lenses, this high-quality brass bushing effectively transforms the hole to function as a 1/4"-20 threaded socket.

Ideal for photographers and videographers who value versatility and reliability, this durable reducer bushing is compatible with Wimberley quick release plates, which utilize 1/4"-20 screws, rather than the larger 3/8"-16 size. This means you can easily mount your larger lenses onto more compact tripods, expanding your equipment's compatibility and enhancing your creative possibilities.

Crafted from sturdy brass, the BS-100 reducer bushing is resistant to corrosion and designed to withstand the rigors of regular use. Its smaller flange ensures a perfect fit, even when the lip of most 3/8" to 1/4" bushings proves too thick.

Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, the Wimberley BS-100 Brass Reducer Bushing is an essential tool for your kit, offering a practical solution for adapting your equipment to meet diverse shooting requirements.
