The aluminium Manfrotto 300mm Sympla Short Rods are one of the basic building blocks of all Sympla rigs, mainly used in parallel pairs to create a track which allows components to be mounted and positioned correctly. The Rods can be joined at different heights using the V-Offset component, or shifted laterally using the H-Offset component. Additionally, although the possible uses are numerous, these long Rods primarily serve as the track for Sympla Fixed or Variable Plates, since the extra length allows a wide range of camera and lens combinations to be correctly positioned for the operator and for Sympla components, such as the Flexible Mattebox.
