15mm Rods

Q: What is the difference between Carbon Fiber and Aluminium Rods?

Carbon fiber rods are significantly lighter but lack threading, making it impossible to extend their length by connecting multiple rods. Aluminum rods are heavier and more rigid, featuring an M12 thread for mounting accessories or extending their length with M12 threaded adapters .

Q: Do the rods work with all follow focus systems and matte boxes?

Yes, but be sure to select the correct diameter (12mm or 15mm) based on your specific needs.

Q: Can I cut the rods to a custom length myself?

Technically, carbon fiber rods can be cut, but we strongly advise against it due to the release of hazardous carbon dust . We offer an option to cut yours to any lenght. Aluminum rods can be trimmed to length, but doing so will remove one of the M12 threads , making extension or mounting more difficult. For best results, we recommend purchasing the correct length from the start.

Q: Do the rods come in pairs or individually?

The rods always come in pairs . If you require singles, you can Contact us .
