This spigot has too few threads on both sides. The 1/4" side has, like, less than three full loops of the thread, more like two full loops of the thread, which is barely OK to hold something light and small, but not OK to hold a heavy camera or similar equipment. The spigots included with other hardware here have 5 threads on the 1/4" and are made of steel, while this is soft brass. I am definitely not buying this again.
