Manfrotto Sympla Rods- Short- 150mm

Manfrotto SYMPLA 2.0 Rods Short 150mm (Pair) – MVA523W-1

Build and customise your professional camera rig with the Manfrotto SYMPLA 2.0 Short Rods 150mm (MVA523W-1). Designed as a core component of the SYMPLA modular rig system, these 15mm aluminium rods provide a durable and lightweight mounting track for cameras, accessories, and rig components.

Engineered for reliability and flexibility, the rods feature an improved scratch-resistant finish and ½”-13 UNC threaded junctions, allowing multiple rods to be joined together to extend the track when required. Used in parallel pairs, they create the essential rail structure for attaching components such as plates, matte boxes, follow focus systems, and more.

Compact yet strong, the 150mm SYMPLA rods are ideal for smaller rig setups or situations where minimal length is required while still maintaining full compatibility with the SYMPLA ecosystem and standard 15mm rod support systems.

Supplied as a pair, these rods provide a stable and versatile base for building or expanding your professional video rig.

Flexible Rig Integration

As part of the Manfrotto SYMPLA 2.0 modular rig system, these rods allow filmmakers to build highly adaptable camera rigs. When used together, they create a rail platform that enables precise positioning of cameras, lenses, plates, viewfinders, and other rig accessories.

The rods can also be integrated with SYMPLA offset components to adjust positioning:

• V-Offset components allow rods to be mounted at different heights.

• H-Offset components allow lateral adjustments for perfect alignment.

• Multiple rods can be connected to extend the rig for larger camera and lens combinations.

This modular flexibility makes the SYMPLA system suitable for professional filmmaking, video production, and broadcast setups.

Built for Professional Filmmakers

Designed in Italy, Manfrotto’s SYMPLA accessories are engineered for demanding production environments. The aluminium tubular construction ensures long-term durability without adding unnecessary weight, making these rods ideal for handheld rigs, shoulder rigs, and studio configurations.
