Overview
The SHAPE Quick Handle Rod Bloc is composed of the patented Quick Handle with ergonomic, rubber handgrips, plus the 15mm Rod Bloc. The Rod Bloc is what some people might call a bridge. Each Quick Handle contains a 360-degree rotatable handle and an arm so you can modify the position of your grip. The handle can be rotated by pushing and holding the patented quick lock button (located at the articulation between the handle and the arm). Release the red knob-like button to lock the handle firmly in place.
Thee Shape Quick Handle + Rod Bloc offers three points of adjustment:
- Rotate the left handle when pressing its red button
- Rotate the right handle when pressing its red button
- Slide the Rod Bloc along your 15mm rods to position the grips, as needed
To secure the position of the Quick Handle on your 15mm rods, simply tighten the small red knob found on the Rod Bloc.
When installed on an optional SHAPE Composite camera support, the Quick Handle and Rod Bloc for 15mm rods enables the Rod Bloc to slide along the rods for precise positioning. This will assist you in balancing the weight of your camera for a comfortable fit to your camera rig.
The SHAPE Quick Handle Rod Bloc is crafted of CNC machined parts and hard-anodized aluminum. It features a stainless steel locking mechanism for durability.
This unit is compatible with all 15mm rod systems. It can be placed on the front of any type of camera support, featuring 15mm rods. It weighs approximately 2.0 lb.
