Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Stella ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how solidly this base locks onto my 19mm rods—no wobble at all when I mount a heavy matte box. The composite material feels durable yet keeps the weight down, which is perfect for balancing my rig.

Emily N. ★★★★★

Sliding this rod bloc onto my 15mm rods was a breeze, and the composite base feels sturdy enough for my heavy matte box setup. It instantly solved the shifting I was getting with my follow-focus gear.

Kevin I. ★★★★★

Finally got my rig balanced perfectly with this rod bloc — the composite base is surprisingly sturdy but light, and swapping between 15mm and 19mm rods takes seconds. No more slipping or sagging when I add a heavy matte box.
