Camera mounting accessory Manfrotto 244ADPT58 — stainless steel adapter for 244Mini/244 Micro Friction Arm, 73 g, grey

Manfrotto 244ADPT58 is a stainless steel adapter designed to provide a secure 5/8" spigot connection between camera accessories and the 244 Mini Friction Arm or 244 Micro Friction Arm. The grey adapter weighs 73 g and is intended for situations that require a corrosion-resistant, durable link between support gear and the friction arm. Two 5/8" spigot adapters are supplied and the part can be changed or serviced using the included hex key.

Advantages

The adapter is made of stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring long service life even in demanding studio or location environments. Its compact design and light weight (73 g) minimise added mass to the friction arm while maintaining a stable connection. Compatibility with multiple 244 friction arm models allows for flexible integration with existing Manfrotto setups. The supplied hex key enables quick replacement of the adapter without specialized tools.

• Mounting monitors, lights or small accessories on a 244 Mini or 244 Micro Friction Arm

How to use

Remove the existing adapter from the friction arm if necessary and fit one of the supplied 5/8" spigot adapters onto the arm. Use the included hex key to fasten or replace the adapter, ensuring a secure, non‑rotating fit when used with the anti‑rotation version of the micro arm. Attach the accessory to the spigot and check that the friction arm tension is adjusted to support the combined load. Periodically inspect the adapter and retaining fasteners for signs of wear or looseness and tighten as required.

Recommendations

Use the adapter with compatible Manfrotto friction arms and accessories rated for the combined weight of your gear. Avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage; perform regular maintenance and keep the stainless steel surfaces clean to preserve corrosion resistance.
