The HammerHead is a leaner, lighter 15mm rod solution for the M-Lite, designed for filmmakers who want the essentials without compromise. Built from precision-machined aluminum, it offers streamlined rod support in a compact form, while introducing a built-in Manfrotto 502 plate profile for effortless tripod compatibility.

It utilises our M12 Rod system, compatible with the majority of Aluminium 15mm rods. Make sure your rods include a M12 thread on in the inside.
