The Bright Tangerine Drumstix 15mm Sterling Titanium Support Rod is suitable for mounting an EVF bracket or other single rod accessories to your rig without adding significant weight, something every owner, operator, assistant, and rental house will appreciate. This single 18" long support rod is extremely lightweight yet exhibits less flex than carbon fiber rods of the same length, and it is lighter than either steel or aluminum rods while being at least as rigid and strong. Made from titanium, the rod is corrosion resistant, and it is machined and ground flat to prevent binding as you mount accessories.

Extremely Lightweight    Titanium Construction    Corrosion Resistant    Machined and Ground Flat

Each titanium rod is machined and ground flat to within a tolerance of 2 microns, which prevents accessories from binding when sliding on the rod. The strength, hardness, and machining tolerances of the rod eliminate the need for the time-honored tradition of spinning the support rod in the rod clamp when trying to build the camera package.

Each rod is extremely lightweight, making it well suited for use with drones or in handheld configurations.

The stiffness of each rod means you can confidently use it to support heavy lenses and matte boxes loaded with filters without worrying about the rod flexing.

Q: 9. Is there an easy way to mount this if you're not using rails? I'm thinking of getting a cage so would want to mount it using a shoe or screw mount. Does the clamp come off?

A: The clamp comes off. There is a 1/4 -20 screw hole. If you get that cage, I suggest keeping the battery close and rigidly mounted to it. I think an arm would cause balance issues.
