Designed specifically as a rod accessory for the XCLS Micro Cage, this 15mm Threaded Rod from XLCS Designs mounts onto the face of the cage via one of the two 1/4"20 threaded holes. The 4" long rod can be linked to another optional rod to increase length, if necessary, and it can also work in a single-rod setup to facilitate the mounting of a follow focus wheel.

Q: 6. I'm using a Sony FS7 with the Zeiss LWZ.3 21-100mm. How can i adjust the mattebox on the rod to make sure it will fit my front lens (114mm). I don't see anything to adjust the heigh of the mattebox?

A: The MM4 mattebox does not have a height adjustment. With the correct step down ring (130mm to 114mm MOV-301-02-004-108C), the mattebox can clamp directly onto the front of the lens. Using the Movcam FS7 / FS7 II baseplate and riser would allow for cinema standard height alignment if you choose to go a different route for your camera support.
