    Shawn,
    you might check out zacuto rods. They may work and may be a bit cheaper and they are extendable. Zacuto.com
    Just a thought.

    I looked at those rods and the problem with them is it's $85 for a 20" rod. Red's is 24" for $70. I guess the problem is pretty much no one makes 24" rods...

    RedRockMicro sells a pair of 24" 15mm rods for $119. The problem is, they're 15mm rods...

I was planning on buying a pair of 7" female rods from Zacuto to put on the front of the camera so I can mount accessories that requires 15mm rods... that way I can add lenght as needed. But if I can find some cheaper 15mm rods, that's fine by me!

    I picked up some rods from RED, all I gotta say is they are STRONG. They are hands down the gnarliest rods I have ever come across...they're practically speed rail...SUPER BUFF! But if you're going hand held you may want to have a set of the Explosive rods or some regular rods.
    BTW RED offers 19mm and 15mm

    At the time I posted those catalog rods the chatter was about 15mm rods which was what I saw in the catalog.
