Product Information
Full details
The Kondor Blue Universal Lens Support Kit is designed for professional videographers and cinematographers who need to eliminate lens flex and vibration when using heavy or long glass on 15mm LWS rod systems. Its primary benefit is providing rock-solid stability for various lens sizes through a modular support architecture, though it requires users to manually adjust the support height and type to match specific lens barrel diameters during setup.

FAQs
Does this support work with 19mm rods?
No, this specific kit is designed strictly for 15mm LWS rod systems.
Can I remove the support without taking off my matte box?
Yes, the rail block is designed for vertical mounting, allowing you to attach or remove it without sliding it off the ends of the rods.
What is the difference between the wheeled and V-lens supports?
The wheeled support is for lenses that have a rotating zoom or focus ring where the support sits, while the V-lens support is for stationary barrels.
Is this kit compatible with all camera cages?
It is compatible with any camera cage or baseplate system that utilizes standard 15mm LWS rod spacing.
What material is the kit made from?
The kit is constructed from high-grade aluminum with a durable Space Gray anodized finish.
Troubleshooting
The support head does not reach the lens barrel.
Attach the included extension rods to the riser to increase the vertical height of the support.
The lens support rotates or slips on the rods.
Ensure the thumb screws on the rail block are tightened securely and that the rods are standard 15mm diameter.
The wheel support creates friction on the focus ring.
Reposition the support block slightly so that the wheel sits on a non-moving part of the lens barrel or adjust the height to reduce pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the kit, slide the rail block onto your 15mm rods and tighten the thumb screws to your desired position under the lens. Choose the appropriate support head—either the V-support for lenses with a resting lip or the wheeled support for rotating barrels—and attach it to the vertical riser. Use the included extension rods if the gap between the rails and the lens barrel is significant. Ensure all connections are finger-tight; do not over-torque the screws to avoid stripping the threads. For maintenance, keep the moving parts of the wheels clean of debris. If the finish becomes dusty, wipe down with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Store the kit in a padded camera case to prevent the aluminum components from scratching other delicate equipment.
