Raphaël Jaafari Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Hi everyone, I have a S16 SR2 with the SR3 lens support system that has two small rods (see picture attached). I was wondering what kind of thread was needed for 15mm extension rods ? Would something like this work : https://www.digixo.com/audio-hifi/accessoires-video/smallrig/p380092-smallerig-1659-combinaison-de-tiges-filetees-15mm.html?affiliateID=300&gQT=1 Or do I need special rods ? Thanks a lot !
Premium Member Gregg MacPherson Posted January 20 Premium Member Posted January 20 (edited) Hey Rafael, I think the parts you point to online are a standard M12x1.75 thread. The SR3 rods have what looks like M12x1.0, unless its an odd SAE pitch I don't have. So a much finer pitch. The Arri male fitting on the extension rods has a diam12.2mm step about 3.5mm long, then a little undercut (gap), then about 7mm of thread length. If you had a machinist friend in a kind mood he might make you a rod connector. Otherwise just have to be patient to find the Arri extensions. PS...There are a small number of M12x1.0 aluminum bolts online, so maybe it saves some of the work making a connector. Edited January 20 by Gregg MacPherson

Raphaël Jaafari Posted April 19 Author Posted April 19 I found these online : https://www.syntex.tv/extension-rods-set-of-2-100-mm-15mm-for-lws-401-83 They seem to have the right thread but I'm not 100% sure. Do you think it would fit ?
