C Stand Junior Receiver Adapter?

[Tom Digges]

Hello all,

Does anyone know if there exists such an adapter to turn a standard C-stand with a 5/8" pin into a Junior Receiver head for a light such as the Arri L7's? Instead of purchasing entirely new stands, I feel an adapter like this could be more versatile in the long run of my shoot.

Thank you.

Hey Tom,
I have yet to put my hands on an L7, so I am curious if you could replace a Matthews TVMP/Bale Block adapter onto the yoke? In my experience in the lighting and grip world I have never come across the adapter you have described. I don't think it would make a lot of sense giving the option for many to put larger lights on stands they were not meant for.
I have a couple TVMP adapters you can borrow, and I am also in Philly. Message me if I can be of any help.

Thanks Ken,
The adapters make sense to use in this particular application. Seeing as the L7's are a bit on the cusp of the weight rating of most C-Stands, we'll give it a shot first. I don't intend on raising the stands to anything too high, and i DO have a couple of Matthews Overhead Roller Stands with Junior receivers that we can use more practically with the unit. I have access to some extra grip equipment but will message you if I need to borrow the TVMP adapters.
