SmallRig Rods
SmallRig's rod lineup covers the standard 15mm and 19mm LWS rod formats used in cinema and broadcast rigging, with offerings in aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and carbon fiber across multiple length increments from 4 inches to 18 inches and beyond. The company produces both standalone rods and rod packs, along with extension rods, threaded couplers, and stop collars that allow modular extension of camera builds. Specialty options include 15mm to 19mm step adapters, knurled-end rods for grip-friendly handling, and lightweight carbon-fiber rods targeted at gimbal-mounted configurations where balance and total payload matter.
The rod line is positioned as a foundational component of SmallRig's broader rigging ecosystem, where matching baseplates, camera cages, top handles, and follow focus systems share standardized 15mm and 19mm hole spacing. Pricing sits notably below comparable cinema-spec rods from premium accessory brands, making the line accessible to independent operators and small rental houses while maintaining mechanical compatibility with higher-end matte boxes, follow focus units, and lens supports. Threaded ends follow standard M12 and 3/8-16 conventions, and rods are typically available individually or paired, allowing operators to scale rigs incrementally rather than committing to bundled accessory kits.
