It fits 15mm rod clamp but its surface is not shining any more because we have redesigned it based on some customers' advice. 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. ## Features - High Performance: The 15mm carbon fiber rod has good heat resistance, corrosion, rubbing performance - Smooth Coating: The smooth surface makes your installation more conveniently and comfortably - Lightweight: Weighs only 40g, lighter than traditional stainless-steel rods - Length: 8 inches (20cm) long. If you need a longer rod, SmallRig rods 851 (30cm, 12 inches) will be recommended - Made of carbon fiber, sturdy and durable. Please note that the carbon fiber rods do not feature female thread ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00O5TRT9W | | Audio Recording | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,174 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #3 in Carbon Fiber Rods | | Brand | SMALLRIG | | Built-In Media | 2 x Rods | | Color | Carbon Fiber Rod - 8" | | Compatible Devices | 15mm Rod Hole Gears | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,750 Reviews | | Has Self-Timer | No | | Item Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | SMALLRIG | | Manufacturer Part Number | Rods-870-20cm-2pcs | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 40 Grams | | Model Name | SmallRig 15mm Carbon Fiber Rod Set | 8\ | | Model Number | 870 | | Number of Items | 2 | | Screen Size | 8 Inches | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SMALLRIG - **Color:** Carbon Fiber Rod - 8" - **Compatible Devices:** 15mm Rod Hole Gears - **Item Weight:** 0.04 Kilograms ## Images ![15mm Carbon Fiber Rod 8inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51stC-fGl4L.jpg) ![15mm Carbon Fiber Rod 8inch - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rqggaQepL.jpg) ![15mm Carbon Fiber Rod 8inch - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Hey8XvuYL.jpg) ![15mm Carbon Fiber Rod 8inch - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FwmXpvWLL.jpg) ![15mm Carbon Fiber Rod 8inch - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pNalxFFTL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these rods threaded inside and if so what is the SmallRig part # for the rod caps and extension pieces that can screw & connect two rods together?** A: Hi,they are 15mm Carbon Fiber Rods.All of our Carbon Fiber Rods are without female thread/inner thread.Can not connect this two rods together.And,not recommend to connect two Carbon Fiber Rods becoz it may be easy to break due to its material.
