Gitzo GS5000 steel 3/8-to-1/4-inch thread adapter
When to choose it
The GS5000 is a small steel reducer for a thread mismatch between compatible tripod equipment. Fit it where an accessory has a 3/8-inch socket and the available support provides a 1/4-inch stud. Check the direction of the conversion before buying.
Use it only when the parts can still seat securely with adequate thread engagement. If you need a larger male stud above the support or an adapter that changes a bowl interface, look for the part designed for that different task.

Fit and buying advice
Match the male and female sides and check the depth of the socket before use. The adapter changes the thread size within the documented arrangement.
Care Seat it squarely and verify the two mating parts sit as intended. Avoid forcing a thread that does not engage by hand.
