Shape Lens Support for 15mm Rod Systems

The Shape Lens Support is a purpose-built accessory for cinematographers and videographers working with 15mm rod-based camera rigs. Longer and heavier lenses place significant rotational stress on a camera's lens mount, which can cause alignment issues, introduce unwanted flex during handheld work, and over time potentially damage the mount itself. This support addresses that problem by cradling the lens barrel from below, transferring weight directly to the rod system and providing a stable, strain-free shooting platform.

Constructed from lightweight anodized aluminum, the unit adds negligible weight to your rig while remaining durable enough for daily production use. The vertically adjustable bracket lets you dial in the correct height for your specific lens diameter, ensuring proper contact and support. The sliding rod block glides along standard 15mm rods and locks into position with a thumbscrew, making it easy to reposition when swapping lenses or adjusting your rig configuration. Its universal 15mm compatibility means it integrates seamlessly with Shape's own camera support systems as well as third-party 15mm rod setups from other manufacturers.
