This Kupo Baby Drop Ceiling Adapter with 5/8" Stud is commonly called a scissor mount and attaches to an intersection in the metal grid that supports ceiling tiles. The 5/8" baby stud is compatible with lightweight light fixtures and accessories with baby receivers.

A drop ceiling adapter is especially useful for shoots located inside office buildings, schools, or other high-traffic public spaces. Because these spaces often employ fluorescent lighting for its low cost and reliability, cameras might have to make wild white balance adjustments to compensate for the green hue associated with these office lights. Quickly rigging a drop ceiling baby pin is an effective choice for replacing or compensating for ugly fluorescent lighting. By circumventing the need for a light stand, interference with clients and office personnel is kept to a minimum. The included 5/8" baby pin is removable, revealing a single 1/4"-20 male stud for mounting other accessories, perfect for action cameras or microphones.
