Sturdy construction is best in stabilizers

I'm a SmallRig fan and movie snobs would probably laugh at that comment. It's fine, it gets the job done and it's a solid build. I would spend 4x more for branded aluminum bars. Save money, buy more gear. Or a sandwich.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Almost OK

Excellent dimensions!

Excellent! So far I have only used steel and aluminum iris rods. On the ones I'm used to, I have to turn accessories on and off from time to time. The carbon rods, on the other hand, are the perfect size and everything slides and snaps in nicely. Let's see if they stand the test of time.

Strong and light but not durable

If rigs could be made entirely of carbon fiber these rods would be perfect. Unfortunately, any metal clips or fasteners on these rails will begin to leave scratches and small dents. I can't help but assume that they start to bend or fail long before the metal rods. They are surprisingly light.

Pros
  • Stabilizers
Cons
  • Slightly ripped

Lightweight and versatile - see pictures of my setup.

Take your time and choose the right length - if you are not sure, use more. Choose your top grip carefully - choose the version with handlebar clamp and ARRI mount. I tried to take as many shots from the Sony A7sii as I was lucky enough to be able to muster. I intentionally left out the Feelworld T7 monitor, HDMI flat cable, Generay LED lighting and RODE video microphone so you can actually see the Smallrig setup. wood wool!

Pros
  • Accessories
Cons
  • Some little things
