VZ-DV RODS

Instruction Manual

The VZ-DV RODS system for professional and prosumer camcorders allows you to mount

various accessories such as focus controls (like the VZ-FC-U), matteboxes, wireless receivers,

external battery systems, or any accessory that can be fixed to optional rod-mount brackets. This

system was designed to be versatile, flexible, and modular in its applications, something you may

have noticed by virtue of the compacted mode in which it came to you. In observing the design,

you’ll see numerous auxiliary mounting holes and high levels of adjustability and configurability.

Although this device is very simple to use, it’s important that you read the following instructions to

get the most out of the DV RODS.

Includes:

-3-axis adjustable baseplate w/ extra ¼”-20 holes for mounting additional accessories

-Two 15mm rods

-Two rod end-cap security screws (to prevent accessories from accidentally sliding off the rods)

-Two ¼”-20 camera-mount screws (1/2” L) w/ washers (one set is a backup)

-One locator pin to prevent unwanted camera movement

-One hex key (1/8”) for adjusting vertical/horizontal position of rods and camera-mount screw

-Integral hardware: 2 -10-32 thumbscrews (3/4” L) for clamping rods in place; 2 - ¼”-20 x 3/4”

screws w/ washers & 2 - ¼”-20 x 1/2” screw w/ washers for fixing vertical and horizontal positions

Setting up the DV RODS system will take a bit longer the first time, but it should

be a breeze using it in the future once you’ve learned how to configure it. There

are several factors to consider:

1 – Camera dimensions and weight distribution

2 – Accessories to be mounted on the system rods

3 – Type of camera support used (standard tripod head, Zero Gravity

head, shoulder support, remote motion control head, etc.)

4 – Whether or not you intend to use the entire camera/DV Rods

configuration as a portable unit or if you want to be able to quickly

separate the camera from the system to go handheld or mount to another

support
