Rod Specifications

SmallRig 5212 is a pair of 15mm carbon fibre rods measuring 12 inches (304.8mm) long with a 0.59 inch diameter and reinforced 0.08 inch wall thickness. Weighing 3.1 oz (88g) per pair, they provide lightweight structural support for camera rigs. The textured surface with red accent detailing adds professional styling.

Compatibility Profile

Videographers building standard 15mm rod systems will find these rods integrate directly with existing clamps and accessories for matte boxes, follow focuses and lens supports. The carbon fibre construction suits handheld and shoulder-mounted work where minimising weight is a priority. Builders requiring different rod diameters, alternative lengths or heavier-duty metal tubes for extreme payloads should evaluate other options.

Deciding Specification

The 15mm diameter and 12 inch length determine whether this pair matches the spacing and reach your current rig demands; verify those two figures against your clamp separation and accessory layout before purchasing.
