Tripod Mount
What is the technical name for the silver bars I see people using to mount a camera on and then to a tripod head? These bars seem to allow you to mount extras and position the camera anywhere along them. This is probably a stupid question but I have no idea what they call these.

Re: Tripod Mount
"15mm rods" are the silver bars you see, and sometimes the part the camera mounts on is called a "baseplate."
Some of the big manufacturers for smaller cameras are RedRock Micro, Zacuto, Berkey Systems, and JAG35 just to name a few, but the options are virtually endless. Very handy systems used to accesorize cameras with matteboxes, a follow focus, handles, monitors and more. Hope this helps. |

Re: Tripod Mount
There is no such thing as a stupid question here... the only "stupid" question is one that has not been asked.
Some people refer to a rod system as rails or camera rails, just so you know. |

Re: Tripod Mount
Chris,
Thanks for your input also. I see photos of rigs but don't know all of the bits and pieces and what they are called. John |
