Full details

The Kondor Blue 8 Inch PPSH 15mm Threaded Rods are designed for professional videographers and camera operators seeking a lightweight yet robust foundation for their rig accessories. These aerospace-grade aluminum rods provide the ideal support for matte boxes, follow focus systems, and battery mounts without adding unnecessary bulk to your camera setup. While these rods offer exceptional strength and modularity, users should note that they require optional M12 connectors if they intend to join multiple units for longer reach.

FAQs

What is the diameter of these rods?

These rods are 15mm in diameter, which is the industry standard for most professional cinema camera accessories.

Can I use these with other brands of rod clamps?

Yes, as long as your accessory or baseplate supports 15mm rods, these will be compatible.

What thread size do I need for extensions?

These rods utilize an M12 internal thread for connecting additional rods.

Are these made of carbon fiber?

No, these rods are constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum to ensure a balance of durability and low weight.

How many rods come in a package?

Each purchase includes two (2) rods.

What is the total weight of a single rod?

Each rod weighs approximately 37 grams.

Troubleshooting

Rod feels loose inside the clamp

Ensure the baseplate clamp is fully tightened; if it remains loose, check if the rod has been scratched or deformed, or verify the clamp diameter is exactly 15mm.

Extension rod won't screw in fully

Check the internal M12 threads for debris. Gently clean with a soft brush and ensure the thread is not cross-threaded during insertion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight design (37g per rod)
  • Durable aerospace-grade aluminum construction
  • Universal 15mm diameter compatibility
  • Easy to extend using standard M12 connectors
  • High-quality space gray finish

Cons

  • Extension connectors must be purchased separately
  • Fixed 8-inch length requires extensions for long-lens setups
  • Not compatible with non-threaded rod accessories

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply slide the 15mm rods through your camera's baseplate rod clamps and tighten the locking knobs until secure. If you need to extend the length of the rods, unscrew the end cap (if applicable) and screw in the M12 extension connector, then thread the next rod onto the connector until the joint is flush. To ensure longevity, keep the threads clean of grit or metal shavings. While the aluminum is highly durable, avoid over-tightening rod clamps with excessive force, as this can leave cosmetic marks on the anodized finish. Periodically check that your accessories are tightened firmly to the rods to prevent vibration during filming.
