This little chunk of brass may not look like much, but if you're using studio equipment for your photography, you're going to need a couple of these babies. Be careful when you order one, though. This one goes from 3/8 inch female to 1/4 inch male adapter. Manfrotto makes a reverse of this one (see below). There are cheaper substitutes than these made by Manfrotto, but I don't recommend you buy them. If you're going to to put a flash or studio light or some other piece of equipment costing your hundreds or even over a thousand dollars, spend the extra few bucks and get a good one that will last. It sounds silly to say so much about a little brass adapter, but these go on smoothly and easily. Oh, and get yourself at least two of each when you order them. You'll use them eventually or will be irritated when you can't find your one doohickey.
In case you're looking for them, here is the other brass one: Manfrotto 088 Stand 1/4-20-Inch Female to 3/8-Inch Male 20mm Long Adapter - Replaces 3103 Manfrotto also makes a flange like one worth having: Manfrotto 088LBP Adapter 1/4-Inch- 20 to 3/8-Inch with flange I just wish that one went from 3/8 inch female to 1/4 inch male.

This thing is solid and feels very sturdy. Manfrotto did a good job machining this and it should last me a long time. I use it when converting from a larger sized tripod mount to a smaller one.
// Pros //
- Well built
- Easy grip
// Cons //
- None
It is small so it could be easily lost.
5 stars. Buy it!

Most people do not realize that high quality tripods are a 2 piece deal. There is the tripod, which gets you level, then the head, which gets your camera mounted. The head mounts to the tripod with a 3/8" bolt, so most high end tripods have a 3/8" bolt exposed.
This is used to convert a tripod to one that will never have a head put on it (e.g. for weather instrument use, slave flashes, etc).
In my case I took an old tripod that was damaged in transit ruining the head and tossed out the broken head, screwed this on it and had a great level only slave strobe for my FL50R Olympus FL-50R Electronic Flash for Olympus Digital SLR Cameras

Great
I did notice it was a little sharp, but it got smoother by just using it and the excess metal came off in lille shavings. Great product though. Read more

Five stars if you have a non-ISO compliant 3/8-16 UNC mount.
But not ISO compliant -- it uses 3/8-16 UNC, rather than the standard 3/8-20 UNC (20 threads/in). Read more

review of Manfrotto 015 1/4-Inch-20 Male 20mm Long to 3/8-Inch Female...
This work ok also but is too small diameter to mount a big camera which is what I bought it for. Should work nicely for smaller cameras and other devices.
