Question?! I bought a cheap ring light which came with a tripod. The tripod has this shaft on the end which goes into a hole on the light and is secured with a screw. I want to mount the light to something that uses a standard tripod screw head instead. Is there an adapter I can buy to achieve this?

Extra context: the metal shaft doesn't unscrew from the tripod, but the black cap on the end does come off to reveal a standard kind of screw (which the light doesn't use). So I can easily use the shitty tripod with standard equipment, but I don't want to do that, I want to use the shitty light

I'm guessing the lack of replies means this isn't standard and I'll never find something? So I made an adapter out of another adapter and a bit of pencil and some cardboard wrapped around it at the end and covered in tape. It is not very stable but it holds up for now

The lesson here is don't buy photography equipment on a whim from Aldi I think
