SmallRigUniversal 15mm Rail Support System with 15mm Rod Clamp and Quick Release Plate - 2272

I built an "All-In-One YouTube Studio" on a light stand. Part of that setup includes a lens mounted Elgato Prompter. I decided to support the camera and lens with a SmallRig 15mm support system. Here are the SmallRig parts:1. DH10 Heavy Duty Tripod Fluid Head2. 5" Quick Release Plate for Manfrotto3. Universal 15mm Rail Support System4. Adjustable Lens Bracket5. Two 15mm x 8" carbon fiber rods SmallRig parts are an industry standard and simply stated, they are high quality, durable, and economical. You can't go wrong with SmallRig parts for your camera needs!Now, I can rest assured that the camera and lens are properly supported when I attach the Elgato Prompter to the camera lens.

Good quality. Best for smaller mirror less cameras to rig up. Smooth movement when adjusting. Great quality. Worth the buy.

This Arco-Swiss mount fits perfectly between a SmallRig camera cage and video tripod. It holds the 15mm rods that are used for video accessories and allows vertical height adjustment between the camera's optical axis and the rods. That adjustment allows long lenses of various sizes to be mounted to the rails by their "lens feet" - thereby stiffening the whole rig and eliminating stress at the camera/lens mount.Pete

This rail support system has adjustable height, which in my opinion are are going to want, whether you know it or not. It allows you to achieve “proper” LWS (lightweight support standard) dimensions between your rails and lens. LWS is just a standard, not a law, but you may find that things just tend to work out better if you have it right.My main criticism is the little extending “towers” that make the height adjustable do not seem to clamp down 100% securely to the base, so there is potentially a bit of rotational play (yaw). I was able to tighten down to my satisfaction, for now. But I probably would not put a large heavy camera system on top of this. I have a Sony A6600, with Meike cine lenses, Smallrig cage and handle, and an Atomos monitor atop it. I think most small DSLR-based systems would be OK, but one should avoid hanging a lot of weight off the front of your camera (for both the camera’s benefit, and to avoid too much stress on this rail support). In my case, I use an LWS support for my Tilta matte box, which helps distribute weight.

very good, no wiggle, i feel aave puting on my camera
