I ordered the supplemental spigots and that has done the trick. Ideally, I would take a hacksaw to the protruding bit of screw because, as many of you pointed out, it isn't obviously useful. I'll probably just get some better stands in due course. Many thanks for the support from all. My...

I’m I’ve ordered some of these to try out. If they don’t, I’ll get the hacksaw out! Many thanks for the impressively suggestions from all. I shall report back!

Ok thanks. Sounds like it may need diy. I’ll check that.

Thank Phil. I’ve also tried it having removed the little black screw cover and the result is identical. The light stand spigot is fixed very firmly. I haven’t tried forcing with pliers because I suspect hand strength should do it if it were not fixed. I’ve also inspected very closely to make...
