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

Works great with 15mm small rig rods. Everything closes well and tight, and it does its job of relieving general tension. The main downside is that if you want to put your rig on the ground, the vertical length of the support can make it impossible depending on how close your rods are to the lens, so keep that in mind.

Sturdy and strong, definitely commercial support for large heavy lenses. Not for lighter smaller lenses. I didn't like that you need pliers to tighten the lens support adjustment screw. By tightening with your fingers, you can move the support arm. Also, this lens mount is a bit bulky and heavy, adding weight to your rig. Aluminum would be the best material of choice.

*Disclaimer* I bought this without measuring it first. The product is well made, nothing to complain about, but I wish I had measured it instead of buying it. I have two cameras, both have battery holders and it's not enough to reach the lens, so I used it on a lens tripod to support it. In conclusion, if you have a camera with a battery holder, be careful.

This little thing perfectly supports a heavy lens on any camera. I've used it to support heavy Nikon and Sigma lenses on Sony A6100 and Nikon D750 cameras (lenses ranged from 30mm F1.4 to heavier 70-200mm F2.8 lenses. It doesn't interfere with the Focus, zoom and simply gives you great performance. Remember to take the stress off your camera's lens mounting ring.

I love this lens stand. I use it for my Sigma 18-35 on my bmpcc. It's very durable and the price was good compared to a few more expensive versions I've seen that looked like they would do the same. You can't go wrong with this and it gives you extra confidence when using your rig, especially with a lens you like and if you plan to run and shoot or mount your rig.

Combine this with a camera mounting plate, tripod mount and some 15mm rods and you have a fairly stiff and light base for an old telephoto MFT body. Nicer and more adjustable than a specific steel brace that I also have. The adjustments seem to be holding up. I just wish there was something that could slip it over the lens to hold it in place. Maybe I'll use a rubber band. Seems to have done very well

This is another quality product from Smallrig. While most of their products have a beautiful look and finish, they vary. This is one of the trendiest (new?) units. I can't help but think roller skates would have been better, but I see that it can have its downsides. True, this support is very long. In my setup it sticks out between the rails and protrudes too much from the bottom. That bothers me with my mounting plate on the tripod head. I had to measure and purchase the short that is offered.

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…
