Features:

  • SMALLRIG Universal Lens Support with 15mm LWS Rod Clamp 1784 mounts on standard LWS-spaced 15mm rods and is designed to take much of the weight of heavier lens off the camera's lens mount.
  • SMALLRIG Universal Lens Support provides physical support for long lens, thus relieving the potentially damaging pressure on the camera's lens mount.
  • When connected to a cinema lens's support foot or a still photo lens's tripod collar, the lens support removes the weight stress from the camera's lens mount.
  • Composed of lightweight aluminum, the lens support has a vertically adjustable bracket so it can accommodate 50-140mm lens diameters.
  • The rod clamp part is compatible with any standard 15mm LWS rig.
Good build quailty and functionality - a great lens support for the money.

Love the flexibility of this lens holder. Yes, it seems a little bulky, and I doubt I will used the full vertical adjustment, but the bottom of the Y shaped piece also serves as a foot to keep the end of your rails off the ground. Good build quality and I really also like the two slots cut into the top of the arms of the Y piece whic allow you to use two strips of velcro to clamp the lens body to the holder. Make sure you use two pieces of velcro, as opposed to one, with the joins positioned at top dead center, over the top of the lens, so that you can undo BOTH layers to get the lens free quickly.

I need to add a little more to give me a shoulder rest. but overall I'm stoked with the end result! I specifically put a QR clamps inside the cage, under the camera, to make releasing the camera easier without having to disassemble the whole cage. I use the cold shoe to lock the top of the camera to the top plate of the cage and increase rigidity, but this does make removal a little more involved. I then attached the ARCA plate from the QR clamp underneath the cage such that I can instantly clamp the rig into a tripod if I need to do a panning shot etc. The 8" carbon rods are used for the handles - one 16" rod, split in the middle, that sits in the handle clamp but come out without having to take one handle off the rig. Handles stow for a reduced footprint when packing away. Please like this review if you found the information here helpful. Thanks!

Supports your heavy lens, when attached to any camera

This little gizmo works great on supporting heavy lens on any camera. I have used it to support heavy Nikon and Sigma Lens on both Sony A6100 and Nikon D750 cameras (the lens ranged from 30mm F1.4 to heavier 70-200mm F2.8 lens. It doesn't impede focus, zoom and just gives you great piece of mind, while taking a load off your camera's lens mounting ring.

Starting point for telephot lens support

Combine this with the Camera Mounting Plate Tripod Mounting and a couple of 15mm rods and you get a pretty stiff and light support for a MFT body with legacy telephoto lens. Nicer and more adjustable than a certain steel support that I also have. Adjustments seem to hold. Just wish it came with something to go over the top of the lens to hold it in place. Maybe I'll use a rubber band. Seems to be very well made

Does what it should

It holds up the lens to take stress off the mount. the ratcheting knobs are a nice touch and allows me to tighten it up on the rods with limited space.

A must for film, video and photography

We are in the film, music and video business. This product was just what we needed to hold up our 400mm lens during production. It is very sturdy and easy to put on and take off. This is a must for every film, video and photographer.

works as advertised

This item is a must if your running a camera with a super heavy lens, works well and highly recommended

Food quality built

Ah what can I say... it holds the lens... but it is really well built and it has a little weight to it which makes it very stable.

Excellent Lens support.

Will be a great safety support for my lenses. Excellent adjustable lens support.

Five Stars

Does what it's supposed to do so far. Can't speak for how long it'll last.
