FAQs
Are these rods compatible with all 15mm rail systems?
Yes, these are designed to the industry-standard 15mm diameter used by most professional camera support manufacturers.
Can I extend these rods if I need more length?
These specific rods do not have threaded ends for joining, so they cannot be extended with standard couplers.
How much do these rods weigh?
Each rod weighs approximately 55 grams.
Are these suitable for heavy-duty focus motors?
Yes, their high rigidity makes them very capable of supporting standard follow focus motors and lens control systems.
What is the length of these rods?
This set includes two rods, each measuring 150mm or 6 inches in length.
Troubleshooting
Accessory clamp slips on the rod
Ensure the accessory clamp is properly aligned and tightened; if it continues to slip, check that the rod is seated fully into the clamp housing.
Difficulty inserting rod into clamp
Check the rod end for any burrs or debris; ensure your rail clamp is fully open before insertion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These rods are designed to slide easily into standard 15mm rod clamps found on bridge plates, baseplates, and camera cages. To maintain the integrity of the carbon fiber, avoid overtightening clamps excessively with heavy metal tools. To clean, wipe the rods with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust or debris, which ensures smooth accessory mounting and adjustment. Always store in a dry location to protect the composite material.
