Product Information
Full details
The 9.Solutions 3/8 Inch Gag is designed for professionals in film, photography, and rigging who need to create versatile and secure connections between 3/8" (10mm) rods. Its primary benefit is allowing two rods to be joined and precisely positioned in any 360-degree orientation, offering significant flexibility in building complex support systems. A key caveat is its specific compatibility with 3/8" and 5/8" equipment, requiring users to ensure their existing gear meets these specifications. This tool enables secure, adjustable junctions for reinforcing rigs and adding components with ease.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the 9.Solutions 3/8 Inch Gag, insert the ends of two 3/8" (10mm) rods into the respective receiving ports. Tighten the locking mechanism on the gag to secure the rods in place. The gag can be attached to an existing 3/8" rod by sliding it onto the rod and securing it using the pass-thru receptacle.
