    Nope. Just a H4n on a mic stand.

    Nice article but…

    I found on Alibaba and on Ebay multiple sellers that have 15mm carbon fiber tubes that are very sturdy and light.

    I purchased a pair of 1 meter long tubes for 38$ + 12$ shipping. That’s 2 x 40 inches.

    I think this is a great deal !

    Informative but the entire video is a giant “that’s what she said” joke.

    I recently saw your video on the cheap cowboy studios shoulder rig and was thinking of using of using these rods instead of the redrock micro rods. I plan on cutting the to about 9 to 12 inches. Would you recommend this?

    I’m wondering the same thing as Marty as I plan on using both. What do you think would be a good size rod paired up with the CowboyStudio?
