This adapter is also a convenient way to mount a tripod head in nontraditional ways with grip equipment such as booms, grip arms, and super clamps. This sturdy aluminum adapter features a 2.2-inch base diameter that will comfortably accommodate most tripod heads, and it has three setscrews to securely lock the head to the adapter.
