Seamlessly Adapt Your Rig with Unmatched Security
In the fast-paced environment of a professional film set, efficiency and reliability are paramount. The Upgrade Innovations 19mm to 15mm Captive Step Down Bushing is more than just an adapter; it's a meticulously engineered solution designed to eliminate a common point of frustration for camera assistants, grips, and directors of photography. Stop wasting precious time searching for misplaced parts or struggling with incompatible gear. This single component seamlessly bridges the gap between 19mm Studio and 15mm LWS (Lightweight Support) rod standards, unlocking a new level of versatility for your camera rig.
The standout feature is its innovative captive design. Unlike standard bushings that can easily fall out and get lost during a lens change or rig adjustment, this bushing is engineered to stay securely seated within the clamp. This simple but brilliant design choice means it's always right where you need it, ready for action. Imagine the confidence of knowing your equipment is secure, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of your work rather than managing loose hardware.

Constructed from a solid piece of aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with a durable black anodization, this bushing is built to withstand the daily rigors of production. It provides a precise, solid, and wobble-free connection, ensuring your follow focus, matte box, or lens support remains perfectly aligned. Specifically designed for flawless integration, it works perfectly with the Upgrade Innovations Arri 3/8″ Pin-Loc 19mm Pivot Clamp and Arri 3/8″ Pin-Loc 19mm Rod Clamp, making it an essential addition to any professional's kit who values performance and dependability.
