I'm an audio guy who is now slowly branching out into film. In building my rig I saw that most of my friends are using SmallRig products. I liked what I saw and most of what I have now are SmallRig products and yes the 15MM Black Aluminum Alloy Rods. I'm very pleased with my products.

Need a good rod kit? This is it. I bought one used and bought another from here for more options. Worth every penny.

Exactly what it says, and exactly what it needs to be. I have a v-mount battery at the far end of these, and nothing feels the slightest bit unstable. I'm pleased with the surface's durability: I was afraid I'd scratched the (powder coat?) surface when trying to remove the rails from a teleprompter assembly without quite unscrewing them far enough, but there turned out to be no damage. (The first version of the teleprompter assembly I received had the screw holes drilled at the wrong position and _did_ scratch a separate pair of SmallRig rails; but that's a longer/separate/unrelated story).

If you're looking for a 12" rod to just be a rod, this is it. Can't ask or expect anything more.
