### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do what they need to
*by R***T on May 20, 2025*

Good for a small setup. If you want to use it with a mirrorless camera or a pocket cinema camera, these rods are great. They are lightweight, but sturdy and don’t feel cheap. If you have a larger body or long cinema lenses, or a rod mounting matte box, then maybe go for longer rods. I’m able to mount my mirrorless camera body with an average size lens, as well as a V mount battery on these 8” rods comfortably.
