The Manfrotto 208 is an adapter that converts a 5/8' (16mm) female mount to a 3/8' male thread. It allows, for example, the Manfrotto ball head to be attached to the 035C Super Clamp. All Manfrotto camera and video heads can be attached to the 3/8” male thread.
The 208 adapter has three through-bolts for tightening the camera and video head, just like the attachment part of a Manfrotto tripod.
