Light yet durable Review: Typical 15mm Rods? - One might think a 15mm rod is the same as any there 15mm rod, but that just isn't true. While the outside diameter may be the same, the inside threads may be different making them incompatible to connect to other rods for other purposes. I have had great experiences with other Smallrig products, and from those experiences, I chose to stay with the brand when I purchased these rods. In my humble opinion, Smallrig is great balance of durability, aesthetics, and affordability. This was a two-pack, and each rod had a screw in plastic cap for either end making them look spectacular when assembled with all the mounted accessories. The powder coating seems to hold up very well to numerous moving/removing of the metal to metal contacts. This is the third time purchasing 15mm rods from Smallrig, and I have yet to be dissatisfied. In the film industry first impressions are important, using scratched up rods without caps looks unprofessional, as if the operator cannot care for the equipment properly. Spend a few dollars more; buy rods that will hold up to countless assemblies, while continuing to look new. ## Features - 【Length】Length of 16 inches / 40cm - 【Diameter】The diameter of the rods is industrial 15mm standard - 【Inner Thread】M12 inner thread on each end of a rod, so that you can use M12 rod end cap (SmallRig 1617) to prevent your accessories sliding from rods - 【Compatibility】Mainly used on camera riser system and filmmaking accessories, such as matte box, follow focus, lens support, etc. - 【High Quality】Made of 6061 aluminum alloy, well finished and precise CNC processing, sturdy and durable ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AZFX77S | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,861 in Camera & Photo Accessories | | Brand | SMALLRIG | | Color | 16" | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,392 Reviews | | Folded Size | 17.2 x 1.4 x 0.9 inches | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 0.59"D x 0.59"W x 15.75"H | | Item Weight | 0.24 kg | | Manufacturer | SMALLRIG | | Manufacturer Part Number | CoolRod-40cm-2pcs ID-1054 | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 107 g | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Model Name | Universal | | Model Number | CoolRod-40cm-2pcs ID-1054 | | Number of Items | 2 | | Number of Packs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 0.59"D x 0.59"W x 15.75"H | | Screen Size | 40 centimeters | | UPC | 693988067587 | | Unit Count | 2 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SMALLRIG - **Color:** 16" - **Compatible Devices:** Camera - **Folded Size:** 17.2 x 1.4 x 0.9 inches - **Item Weight:** 0.24 kg - **Number of Items:** 2 - **Number of Packs:** 2 - **Product Dimensions:** 0.59"D x 0.59"W x 15.75"H - **UPC:** 693988067587 - **Unit Count:** 2 Count ## Images ![Aluminum Alloy 15mm Rod with M12 Female Thread, 16 Inches Long - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5125Jwssz2L.jpg) ![Aluminum Alloy 15mm Rod with M12 Female Thread, 16 Inches Long - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RzDquitsL.jpg) ![Aluminum Alloy 15mm Rod with M12 Female Thread, 16 Inches Long - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61grEnAJHjL.jpg) ![Aluminum Alloy 15mm Rod with M12 Female Thread, 16 Inches Long - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KoIJnBHzL.jpg) ![Aluminum Alloy 15mm Rod with M12 Female Thread, 16 Inches Long - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JZFU1B+pL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Thread pitch?** A: Hi, Thank you for interesting in SmallRig.

If you want to use it with a mirrorless camera or a pocket cinema camera, these rods are great. They are lightweight, but sturdy and don’t feel cheap. If you have a larger body or long cinema lenses, or a rod mounting matte box, then maybe go for longer rods. I’m able to mount my mirrorless camera body with an average size lens, as well as a V mount battery on these 8” rods comfortably. ## Frequently Bought Together - SmallRig 16 Inches (40 cm) Black Aluminum Alloy 15mm Rod with M12 Female Thread, Pack of 2-1054 - SmallRig Camera Base Plate with 15mm LWS Rod Rail Clamp, Baseplate for Sony A6500 A6600 A6300, for Canon R5 R6, for Sony A7SIII / A7III, Both for Cameras & Cages - 1674 - SMALLRIG 15mm Long Lens Support Bracket Height Adjustable for DSLR Camera Shoulder Rig (New) - 1087 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/2118766-aluminum-alloy-15mm-rod-with-m12-female-thread-16-inches](https://www.desertcart.us/products/2118766-aluminum-alloy-15mm-rod-with-m12-female-thread-16-inches) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
