Review on SmallRig 15mm Carbon Fiber Rods (Non-Threaded) - 4 inches, Pack of 2 - 1871: Compatible with 15mm Rod Support Systems by John Hill

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mismatched, smaller than standard

These rods are approximately 0 .5-0.25mm smaller than the 15mm, meaning they are not suitable for my purpose to replace the FS 7's finderbar. The sharp-edged clips also scratch the bars, which I trade for light weight I guess, but still things tend to slide more too, so be careful not to use them for anything other than a matte box or lens holder , which holds both rods and doesn't depend on only picking up one, like a focus motor for example.

Pros
  • SMALLRIG 15mm Carbon Fiber Rod (4" pair) 1871 is a pair of 4" unthreaded rods with a carbon fiber pattern on the outer surface that is very stiff, lightweight and corrosion resistant
Cons
  • Neutral
