Video/TV fixture

[Nicktaylor]

Okay for stage we have either a hookclamp or maybe a spigot if working on a stand. What is the fixture on a TV light which is basically female that goes on top of a stand, often with a bolt to stop it coming off, but not stop it rotating

A TV spigot

There's access at the top to stick the captive pin through for safety, and a side wingnut to allow rotation

I believe what the OP was thinking of, is indeed a 28/29mm spigot, but some manufacturers have produced a 'hollow' version, which will also accept a 16mm spigot into the top.

Are you thinking of the square plastic female thing(technical term) thats on the yoke? it fits over the spigot on the stand, you can also attach a hook clamp to the lantern using them. Cant find a picture I'm afraid :) I will keep looking thou.

Yes - I see, 16mm spigot on the stand that goes into things like redheads - the best ones have a vertical and horizontal hole - are these what you are talking about?
