Mount Anything, Anywhere: The Versatile 15mm Mounting Spud
Unlock ultimate flexibility in your camera rig with the Upgrade Innovations 15mm Mounting Spud. Precision-engineered for filmmakers, camera assistants, and grips who demand reliability and efficiency, this small component makes a massive impact on your workflow. Whether you're mounting a monitor, a microphone, an EVF, or any other accessory, this spud provides a rock-solid connection point that integrates seamlessly into your existing 15mm rod system. It's the essential building block for creating a streamlined, professional setup that adapts to the fast-paced demands of any set.
The true genius of this mounting spud lies in its unparalleled versatility. Available in both industry-standard 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 thread sizes, it's compatible with virtually any piece of camera gear. Use it as a male pin to screw into your accessory, or use the included socket cap screw to attach it as a female receiver—the choice is yours. When paired with any standard 15mm rod clamp, it creates a robust, cost-effective quick-release system. This allows you to reconfigure your setup in seconds, not minutes, saving valuable time and letting you focus on capturing the perfect shot.
We've obsessed over the details to ensure this spud exceeds expectations. Included with every spud is a set of O-rings that allow you to customize the fit within your clamp. This unique feature gives you complete control over the connection: choose a 'slip' fit for easy repositioning, a 'friction' fit that holds its place but allows for adjustment, or a 'captive' fit for a completely locked-in, zero-play connection. Machined from a single piece of anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, it’s both incredibly lightweight and built to withstand the rigors of daily production use. For secure tightening, clever cross-drilled holes allow you to use any standard hex key for extra leverage, guaranteeing your gear stays exactly where you put it.
