They came with some other photo stuff. The tops are 5/8 lighting studs, the screw holding the studs appears to be 3/8 / large tripod screw. The base has rubber around it. Some sort of quick release? I put it here because it might be something only adapted to lighting. And sometimes there threads are fun.
