Premium Members Kevin Andrews SOC Posted October 6, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 What's the price for just a set of 9.5" rods? I have one of these cages and it is great. Very good quality. 11 and 6.5 makes a great combo. The focus rod holes are also great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Janice Arthur Posted October 6, 2010 Author Moderators Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hi all; Any extra set of rods is $65.00 for four. $70 total, shipped in the US and Canada. Also, I can ship Weight cages/plates to the rest of the world and they charges vary but roughly under $100. (I can give exact numbers when I know where its going of course.) Lastly, a single plate purchase is $210. Shipping on that is roughly $25.00 in the US and Canada. Thanks to Rich and Kevin for the cudos, I appreciate it. (One story, I bought a cage from Mike O'Shea about 15 years ago thinking it was a necessary evil to buy a hunk of metal. I have used that thing 200 times over the years, it always amazing to me that it was so useful. That's probably why I was so happy to take over making them; they are simple but brilliant. thanks Mike.) Now jib and sticks operators use them with DSLRs as a way to place the camera where you want and to have space for the accessories those cameras need. I'll have a follow focus rod that fits on the verticals of the cage (very handy) in a month or so. My machine shop is backed up with other things. I'll get a drawing to show soon. Thanks again.
