Secure Your Setup: The Ultimate Spigot to 15mm Rod Adapter
In the fast-paced environment of a professional film set, the last thing you need is unreliable gear. Unsecured monitors, slipping focus stations, and cluttered workspaces not only slow you down but also pose a risk to expensive equipment. The Upgrade Innovations Spigot to 15mm Rod Adapter is the definitive solution, engineered to bring stability, efficiency, and peace of mind to your camera rig and video village.
This adapter is more than just a piece of metal; it’s a vital link in your professional workflow. Expertly designed to bridge the gap between industry-standard 5/8” Baby Pins and any 15mm rod clamp, it provides a rock-solid anchor point for your most critical accessories. Attach it to your remote focus station, a director's handheld monitor, or a FIZ (Focus, Iris, Zoom) control unit to keep your setup clean, organized, and absolutely secure. The robust, press-fit 1 1/2” spud ensures a connection that won't twist, slip, or fail under pressure, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of your job.
What truly sets this adapter apart is its innovative, user-centric design. We include a selection of O-rings that fit into integrated grooves on the 15mm rod. This unique system gives you complete control over the clamping feel and security. Choose a 'slip' fit for quick, on-the-fly repositioning, a 'friction' fit for a firm-yet-adjustable hold, or a 'captive' fit for a locked-down, set-it-and-forget-it configuration. This level of customization ensures perfect integration with any 15mm clamp, regardless of its manufacturing tolerances.
Built from a single piece of high-grade, anodized aircraft aluminum, this adapter is crafted to withstand the daily rigors of production. It’s both incredibly strong and surprisingly lightweight, adding security without adding unnecessary bulk to your rig. For ultimate versatility, pair it with our RudyArm articulating arm to unlock endless mounting possibilities and create the exact ergonomic setup you need to perform at your best.
