MotoCrane 15mm Carbon Fiber Rods Set

The MotoCrane 15mm Carbon Fiber Rods Set is a premium and essential rigging solution designed for professional cinematographers to expand the accessory mounting capabilities of their camera and remote head systems, particularly in conjunction with MotoCrane TITAN series or other high-performance cinema setups. Crafted for optimal balance between strength and weight, these rods provide a robust yet lightweight foundation for a wide array of camera accessories.

15mm rods are a universal standard in professional cinematography, forming the backbone of many camera support systems. The MotoCrane Carbon Fiber Rods Set elevates this standard by utilizing high-grade carbon fiber, offering significant advantages over traditional aluminum rods:

• Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Carbon fiber is incredibly strong and rigid while being significantly lighter than aluminum. This is crucial for gimbal, remote head, and drone operations where every gram of payload can impact performance, battery life, and motor strain.
• Vibration Damping: Carbon fiber naturally possesses excellent vibration-damping properties. This can contribute to smoother footage by absorbing subtle vibrations that might otherwise affect the camera.
• Corrosion Resistance: Unlike aluminum, carbon fiber is immune to corrosion, making these rods ideal for use in diverse and challenging environmental conditions, including humid or coastal regions.
• Modular Accessory Mounting: These rods provide a robust platform for mounting a vast range of professional camera accessories, including:
  • Matte Boxes: For lens filtration and flare control.
  • Follow Focus Systems: For precise manual or remote focus pulling.
  • Lens Supports: To prevent lens flex and protect lens mounts, especially with heavy or long lenses.
  • Wireless Video Transmitters/Receivers: For clean monitoring feeds.
  • Battery Plates & Power Distribution Modules: For efficient power solutions.
  • Handgrips & Shoulder Mounts: For ergonomic camera operation.

The MotoCrane 15mm Carbon Fiber Rods Set typically comes in various lengths (e.g., pairs of 6″, 9″, 12″, 18″ or 150mm, 225mm, 300mm, 450mm) to accommodate different camera builds and accessory requirements. They feature precision-machined ends, ensuring smooth insertion into 15mm LWS (Lightweight Support) rod clamps and other standard rod blocks.

Whether you’re rigging a complex cinema camera on a MotoCrane TITAN LT, a traditional fluid head, or a handheld setup, these carbon fiber rods offer the lightweight durability and versatile mounting capabilities essential for professional-grade film production. They are an indispensable cinema rigging accessory for achieving stable, organized, and optimized camera configurations.
