Technical specifications

Compatibility and common uses

Because the KS-225 uses a 16 mm diameter tube, it fits many standard 16 mm rod clamps, brackets, and accessory mounts used in photography and filmmaking. In other words, you can integrate this rod into setups that require the common 16 mm specification. The 50 cm length gives you a mid-length option for extensions and support where a longer or shorter rod is not required.

Care and handling

Handle the rod to avoid scratching the surface where possible, though the rough texture is intentional to increase grip. Keep the rubber boots in place to protect both rod ends and the surfaces they rest against. Because the tube is made of iron/steel, store it dry to prevent corrosion.
