I just bought this gooseneck adapter so that I could get tighter shots while taking timelapse photos .
Unfortunately my stand only has a male 1/4-20 thread and I can’t think how to attach the gooseneck.

I’m wondering, is there an easier solution that I’m not seeing or don’t know about?
Bonus Question: What thread is that on the Bluetooth speaker?

I think I’m probably going to buy a small bag of those things you linked. After so many years watching the frugal filmmaker, I never saw him use those.
For this type of work I prefer these types of threaded inserts. They take less room and look much better on the finished piece.
Threaded inserts provide permanent machine screw threads in wood, plastic, soft metal, or other porous materials. Threaded inserts are often used to replace worn wood screw or metal screw holes that have become oversized due to wear. Installed with a...
