Secure Your Rig: The Ultimate 15mm Spud with Arri 3/8″ Pin-Loc
In the fast-paced world of professional filmmaking, the stability of your camera rig is non-negotiable. Every component must be locked down, secure, and reliable. The Upgrade Innovations 15mm Spud with Arri 3/8″ Pin-Loc is engineered to be the bedrock of your setup, providing a rock-solid, anti-twist mounting point for your most critical accessories. Say goodbye to wobbly monitors and slipping handles; this is the secure connection you've been searching for.
Designed specifically for camera professionals who demand precision, this spud integrates seamlessly with any standard Arri 3/8″ Pin-Loc receptacle. The dual locating pins prevent any rotation, ensuring that once you mount an accessory, it stays exactly where you put it. This makes it an indispensable tool for attaching everything from high-resolution monitors and EVFs to articulating arms and top handles. Its versatility is further enhanced by built-in flats, a thoughtful design element that ensures compatibility even with cameras using slim top plates, where clearance can be an issue.
What truly sets this spud apart is its innovative O-ring system. We understand that not every situation calls for the same level of grip. That's why we include a selection of O-rings that allow you to customize the fit within any 15mm clamp. Need to quickly slide an accessory along a rod? Use the rings for a 'slip fit.' Want a firm hold that still allows for adjustment under pressure? Configure it for a 'friction fit.' And for those critical, set-and-forget components, the 'captive fit' provides a completely locked-in, unshakeable connection. This level of control gives you the flexibility to adapt your rig on the fly, without compromise. Constructed from anodized, aircraft-grade aluminum, this spud is both lightweight and incredibly durable, ready to withstand the daily rigors of any film set. It's not just an accessory; it's a foundational piece of gear for any serious camera professional.
