Description
Zacuto Z-Rail Rod Lock 90 Degree
The Zacuto Z-Rail Rod Lock 90 Degree is a specialized camera rigging component designed to securely attach a 15mm support rod at a 90-degree angle to any standard Z-Rail (NATO Rail). This unique orientation allows filmmakers to build out their camera rigs in a perpendicular direction, providing mounting points for accessories in configurations that would be otherwise difficult or impossible with standard rod clamps.
It’s particularly useful for creating compact side handles, offsetting monitors, or building more complex support structures for heavy lenses or accessories where space and precise positioning are critical.
The Zacuto Z-Rail Rod Lock 90 Degree features a quick-release Z-Rail clamp on one side, allowing it to rapidly attach to, and slide along, any NATO rail that is part of a camera cage, baseplate, or handle. Integrated directly into this clamp is a 15mm rod port that is oriented at a strict 90-degree angle relative to the Z-Rail clamp. This rod port uses a single-lever or knurled screw locking mechanism to firmly secure a 15mm rod.
Constructed from robust, precision-machined aluminum, this accessory ensures a strong, non-slip connection for both the Z-Rail and the rod. Its design allows for greater flexibility in rig building, enabling operators to optimize space and ergonomics by extending arms or mounting accessories off to the side or perpendicular to the main rig axis.
