## Description

desertcart.com : SmallRig 15mm Carbon Fiber Rod for 15mm Rod Support System (Non-Thread), 12 inches Long, Pack of 2-851 : Electronics

Review: Solid pieces for follow focus - Good functional rods for follow focus. Carbon fiber makes it lightweight and strong and the design/pattern of the carbon fiber looks great. Nice and short size makes it compact and the perfect fit on appropriate rod holders make it easy to mount. No complaints.
Review: WOW! great set of rods. - WOW! These are light and hold well. Time will tell how they hold up, but the initial impression is very positive. Nice matte finish. I bought three sets to replace/change my aluminum rods. These definitely deflect much less than aluminum making installation of other gear easy. They can't/don't have stopper caps, but their grippy matte surface should alleviate the need for those things. Update: Over a year later, and I keep ordering these for all my rigs. They are great. They don't have threads for expansion, but are these prices, who cares. Buy the length you need, or buy long ones and cut them to size(s). The more I shoot, the more I want to lighten my rig. The more I buy and use these rods. Every bit of weight savings helps, and these are no more than aluminum rods. Plus, these don't clank, are quieter than aluminum, and don't ever feel really hot or really cold. Plus, who doesn't love the look of carbon equipment? They are superior to aluminum in every way except having threaded ends. If you don't need threaded ends, you need these.
