Micro Rod for Camera Rigs
This 15mm aluminum micro rod connects camera cages and rod supports using standard 1/4"-20 threads. The male and female ends allow it to link two compatible accessories in a straight line. A knurled red locknut secures the position once adjusted. It is built for video rigs that need a short, rigid spacer.
Build Integration and Weight
The rod adds 36g to a rig and measures 51mm in length, keeping the setup light for handheld or shoulder work. It requires other components with 1/4"-20 threads on both sides to function as a bridge. The blind screw and locknut let you fix the spacing without tools. No power or electronics are involved.
Stability Under Load
Aluminum construction resists bending when accessories are mounted between the two threaded ends. The locknut maintains the set distance during extended shoots so the rig does not shift. The short 51mm span limits leverage, reducing flex compared with longer rods. It is not suited for spans that exceed its fixed length.

Questions about this item
Does the 15mm diameter rod fit my existing 15mm rod clamp?
Yes, the rod is 15mm in diameter and 51mm long, matching the standard 15mm rail size used by many camera cages and support systems.
Will the knurled red locknut stay tight during a full day of handheld shooting?
The knurled red 1/4"-20 locknut is designed for secure, tool-free tightening, keeping the rod firmly locked in position during extended use.
My cage has a 1/4"-20 threaded hole — does this rod screw straight in?
The rod includes a 1/4"-20 male thread on one end and a 1/4"-20 female thread on the other, so it connects directly to any standard 1/4"-20 mount.
