  • Exceptional strength from aerospace-grade aluminum for demanding filmmaking
  • Standard 15mm diameter with M12 threads fits diverse support rigs

  • Weighs only 85g to keep rigs light during long shoots

What the rod is and who uses it

This 18-inch aluminum rod uses standard 15 mm diameter and M12 threads to mount follow-focus units, matte boxes, lens supports or servo motors on a camera rig. It is built for cinematographers and camera operators who need a lightweight, strong connection point for accessories.

Practical limits of the 15 mm standard

The rod follows the widely adopted 15 mm spacing, so it fits existing rig clamps and blocks without adapters. Length is fixed at 18 inches, so extending the run requires separate M12 extension connectors that are not included.

Build quality and daily mounting implications

Aerospace-grade aluminum keeps the rod at 85 g, reducing fatigue during long handheld sessions while maintaining rigidity for heavy accessories. The space-gray anodised finish resists wear, and the threaded ends allow precise, secure positioning of attached gear.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 18 inch 15mm rod or a different length for my rig?

At 85 grams the aerospace-grade aluminum rod adds minimal mass, keeping the rig lightweight for comfortable handling during long shoots while maintaining strength for accessories.

The M12 threads accept standard 15mm rod accessories and M12 Rod Extension Connectors, enabling secure attachment and length extension for follow focus, matte box, or servo motor setups.
