Nice and Steady AdapterAug 16, 2009
By Russell J. T. Dyer
This adapter goes from a 1/4-inch female connection point underneath, to a 3/8-inch male connector at you see in the manufacturer's photo of it here. This is basically the same as this brass adapter: Manfrotto 088 Stand 1/4-20-Inch Female to 3/8-Inch Male 20mm Long Adapter - Replaces 3103 The primary difference is that this adapter is has a flange to it with a rubber base for a snugger and more stable fit. I like this adapter for attaching devices to light stands or small tripods. I just wish Manfrotto made the reverse of this--3/8-inch female to 1/4-inch male. For that, you have to use this brass adapter: Manfrotto 015 3/8-Inch Female to 1/4-Inch-20 Male 20mm Long Adapter - Replaces 3358 However, that doesn't have the flange. If it they did make one like that with a flange, it would be handy for putting a small camera (e.g., Canon G10) on a tripod that only has a 3/8-inch connection. The flange and the low profile of this model makes it steadier.

perfect solution to add a tripod head to a staff! im Converted!Aug 24, 2009
By Bill Wilder
This alows you to add a tripod head on top of a hiking staff. The staffs have a 1/4 screw and this converts to the 3/8 so you can use a pro head on top of a staff.
GREAT SOLUTION!

Just as advertisedJan 01, 2010
By David Fox
This screw adapter does exactly what it is supposed to, and does it leaving you assured with peace of mind. I use this adapter to mount a Manfrotto 322RC2 Joystick Head Short ballhead to my Slik tripod. I decided not to go with a cheaper adapter since I was going to be mounting this ballhead to my tripod and putting my DSLR on top of it. I didn't want to have to worry about it possible falling off because of a cheap adapter, and this certainly puts that to rest for me. It seems really well made and all my connections are tight (part on tripod and in ballhead mount) and it supports the ballhead/DSLR perfectly.
Edit (Dec. 25, 2011): This little adapter is still going strong on my tripod. I've received ones like it on various camera equipment I've purchased, but none have seemed as trustworthy as this one. The other ones don't have the nice big circular support that this one has.

Works GreatNov 21, 2010
By BrianJ
This simple connector works great to bridge between the smaller threads of my monopod to the larger threads of my Ball Head.

Using for a Taylor Guitar Case Shoulder Strap and HooksAug 06, 2010
By Is5410
I bought two Black Rapid Straps Fasten-R2 for R Series Straps. to use in combination with two Manfrotto 088LBP Adapter 1/4-Inch- 20 to 3/8-Inch with flange to add a shoulder strap Klein Tools Tool Bag Shoulder Strap Kit 5102S for 5102 & 5105 Canvas Bags to my Taylor Guitar case, similar to the Breedlove shoulder strap hooks. The combination of these items works great. I (fearfully and carefully) drilled two holes in the guitar case, inserted the adapter (screwing it in with a tight squeeze from the inside out) and then screwed the R2 Fastener from the outside onto the adapter through the hole creating a grip on the case between the two. The strap then hooks onto the R2.
The good:
1. The sizes are standard, which is why I can combine with the fastener so well.
2. Having a screw on the inside and the outside allows for a nice mechanism to do something like I have (different than it's original design).
3. The fastener can be screwed in from either side, which is something I wasn't sure about. So glad it does work!
The weaknesses:
1. I bought two of these at two different times (a week apart) and the rubber for each was notably different (at least twice as thick). Not sure why one was much thiner than the other. For my purposes, I ended up removing the thick rubber so that it would reach through the guitar case. If I needed the rubber, not sure how the thickness difference would impact its use.
Note: See Photos in the R2 review...
