The SHAPE Sliding Rod Block allows you to attach 15mm rods to select SHAPE gear and adjust them vertically to support different sized lenses and accessories.

Using supplied screws, it can be attached to the front of the PAPARAZZI RISER, CAMELEON I, SPIDER I, SUMO I, and other rigs/accessories that support the screw pattern. One ratchet knob tightens both optional rods in place.
