[QUOTE="Robert Mitchell, post: 101071, member: 11282"] Almost all current spigots and studs use a 5/8" mount. Some lights use a 3/8" mount but that's not common at all. The 1/4"-20 threaded mount and 3/8"-16 are found on many spigots and studs and can be adapted, converted and used in many ways. Light stands have a 5/8" mount that can accommodate any strobe and the strobe's tilt/swivel mounts to the stud and is tightened down with the side mounted turn-down. I've got drawers full of grip gear and once you discover the world of grippy goodness it's like a disease. You can't stop buying the stuff. Many people use tripods as light stands. You can use the brass stud that Jack is showing or any of numerous components to mount a light. I'm sure you realize it but height adjustment on a tripod is not as convenient or fast and has a height limitation, whereas even a small, lightweight light stand will usually extend to 6 or 7 feet.
