FAQs

What material are these rods made from?

The rods are made from PPSH (Polypropylene) which offers a good balance of durability and lightweight design.

What is the weight of each rod?

Each 12-inch rod weighs approximately 2 oz.

Can I extend these rods?

Yes, the rods feature M12 threaded ends, allowing them to be extended by connecting additional compatible threaded rods.

Are these rods compatible with 19mm rod systems?

No, these rods are specifically designed for 15mm rod systems. They will not fit into 19mm rod clamps.

How many rods come in a pack?

This product is a 2-pack, meaning you receive two 12-inch rods.

What is the primary use for these rods?

They are used to provide support for camera accessories such as matte boxes, follow focus systems, and monitors, especially in lightweight or modular rigs.

Troubleshooting

Rod won't slide into clamp

Ensure the rod clamp is fully open and that the rod is aligned correctly. Check for any debris inside the clamp or on the rod.

Threaded connection feels loose

Ensure you are using compatible M12 threaded rods or accessories. Tighten the connection firmly by hand. If it remains loose, inspect the threads on both components for damage.

Rod feels wobbly in the setup

Verify that the rod clamps are tightened securely onto the rods and that the entire support system is stable. Check if the rods need to be extended for the required stability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight, reducing overall rig weight.
  • Durable PPSH material ensures longevity.
  • Modular design allows for easy extension and customization.
  • Standard 15mm diameter offers broad compatibility.
  • Professional aesthetic with space gray finish.

Cons

  • Requires compatible threaded accessories for extension.
  • 12-inch length might be too short for certain specific setups.
  • PPSH material, while light, may not be as rigid as solid metal rods under extreme stress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the Kondor Blue 15mm Rods, slide them into the corresponding 15mm rod clamps on your camera cage or support system. Ensure they are securely fastened within the clamps. If extending the rods, simply thread another compatible M12 rod onto the end of an existing rod until firmly connected.

Compatibility: These rods feature a standard 15mm diameter, making them compatible with most 15mm rod support systems, camera cages, matte boxes, follow focus units, and other accessories designed for 15mm rods. The M12 threaded ends are designed to connect with other M12 threaded rods or accessories.

Care: To maintain the rods, wipe them down with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth after use to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the PPSH material and finish. Store them in a protective case or bag to prevent scratches.
