Review on 🔍 Compact SMALLRIG Universal Lens Support with 15mm LWS Rod Clamp - Perfect for 50mm to 140mm Lenses - Product Code: 1784 by Lance Foster

I love the flexibility of this lens holder. Yes, it does feel a bit unwieldy and I doubt I'll be using the full vertical adjustment, but the underside of the Y-piece also acts as a support to keep the end of your rails off the ground. Good build quality and I really do too, for example the two slots cut into the top of the Y-piece brackets allow the use of two Velcro straps to attach the lens barrel to the mount. Make sure you use two velcro straps, not one, with the seams at top dead center, across the top of the lens so you can detach BOTH layers and quickly release the lens. Components to build my DSLR. Video camera: Smallrig 1750 - a professional camera for a camera; 20cm, 8" Complanate Surface Length (Unthreaded, 2-pack) Smallrig 1061 - 2 DSLR Camera Pole Grips, Leather Grip w/ 15mm Pole Clamp (Black) Smallrig 1053 - 15mm Long Aluminum Alloy Poles 30cm 12" (M12 -30 cm) (2pcs) Haoge 50mm QR Quick Release Clamp Adapter with 60mm Plate (Arca-Swiss Compatible) Fotyrig Camera Top Grip Cheese Grip Handle with Cold Shoe Mount Thread Adapters "3/8" for mounting ecageTotal cost something more than $320 but now I have a fully custom rig that seems to suit me perfectly (although I'm a beginner) and I've had good reviews from others who've seen it for functionality and stability.I need a add little more to give me a shoulder rest.But overall I'm happy with the end result!I specifically installed QR clips in the cage under the camera to make it easier to remove the camera without having to disassemble the whole cage. I use a cold shoe to attach the top of the camera to the top plate of the cage and add rigidity, but this makes removal a bit more difficult. I then attached an ARCA plate from the QR clip underneath the cage so I can instantly attach the rig to my tripod if I need to do a panorama shot etc. The grips use 8" carbon rods - a 16" rod split down the middle resides in the grip clamp but comes out without having to remove a grip from the tool. The handles are removed to reduce the space required when packing. Please bookmark this review if you found the information here helpful. Thanks very much!
