Standardized 19mm aluminum or carbon rods for modular camera support systems. Enable mounting of follow focus units, matte boxes, monitors, and lens support on RED, ARRI, Sony, and Blackmagic cameras.
Definition
19mm rods are standardized metal rods with a diameter of 19 millimeters, used as a universal mounting system in professional camera operation. These rods form the backbone of modern camera rig systems and enable the modular mounting of various accessories such as follow focus systems, matte box brackets, monitors, or battery mounts.
Rods are made of aluminum or carbon with precise surface treatment for smooth component adjustment.
Practical Application
Camera assistants use 19mm rods for handheld, tripod, and Steadicam shots. The rods support heavy lenses (lens support) and distribute the overall weight of the equipment. Modular design allows for quick configuration changes between scenes.
Compatibility with professional cameras from RED, ARRI, Sony, and Blackmagic.
Technical Details
Standard 19mm rods typically have lengths from 200mm to 400mm and feature 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 threads for mounting additional components.
