Product Information
Full details
The Kondor Blue 15mm Rod Clamp to Accessory Mount is an essential tool for videographers and camera operators who rely on 15mm rod systems to build out their rigs. It provides a rock-solid, anti-twist mounting point for monitors, lights, and microphones, allowing for a professional, customizable setup. While it offers industry-standard mounting points, users should ensure their accessories are compatible with ARRI-style locating pins to fully utilize the anti-twist capability of the primary mount.

FAQs
Can I use this on 19mm rods?
No, this clamp is specifically designed for 15mm rod systems.
Does it come with a 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch adapter?
No, the clamp features native 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch threads, but standard hardware is not included.
Are the ARRI pins removable?
The ARRI locating pins are integrated into the mount design for stability and are not intended to be removed.
What is the weight limit?
While the clamp is robust, it is recommended to keep loads under 2-3 lbs to prevent the rod system itself from flexing or rotating.
Is this compatible with NATO rails?
No, this is a dedicated rod clamp and does not feature NATO-compatible geometry.
Troubleshooting
Accessory rotates after mounting
Ensure you are using an ARRI-style mount that engages the locating pins. If using a standard 1/4-inch screw, the accessory may naturally rotate; consider using a rubber washer or switching to an accessory with pins.
Clamp slides along the rod
Check that the rod is exactly 15mm in diameter and ensure the tightening knob is fully engaged. If the rod is coated or slick, wipe both the rod and the clamp's inner surface with a clean cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, loosen the knob on the rod clamp, slide the unit onto your existing 15mm rod at the desired position, and tighten the knob until secure. Ensure the rod is free from debris to prevent slipping. For accessories with an ARRI-style mounting base, align the locating pins with the corresponding holes on the clamp before tightening the screw. Periodically check the tension knob to ensure it remains tight after heavy use, and wipe the clamp with a dry cloth to keep the threads free of dust or metal shavings. Avoid over-tightening the 1/4-inch screws to maintain the longevity of the threads.
