$140 rods?

Shawn Nelson · 09-10-2007, 10:04 PM

So when placing our final order we ordered 24" rods and the bill came to $140, for steel rods. We tried to correct it back to the advertised $70 since we thought it was $70/pair, which would be on par with expected price, as $140 for two steel rods doesn't match up. Anyhow, we were told it was $140 for two 24" rods. So we canceled it until we could get the straight scoop.

I'm not grousing, just confused to see if that was right.

Shawn I'm sorry to break it to you, but yeah, $70 per steel rod sounds about right, $140 a pair. I paid $105 for a pair of 15mm carbon fibre rods. The Red Store ones are 19mm steel, so it sounds reasonable to me.

The image in the shop shows two rods with a price of $70, so if that's not accurate it would be very helpful if the site was updated. I'm placing my order (and allocating my budget) based on what the picture shows (for instance, which items are in the basic production pack), so the listings and prices need to be as correct as possible.

It clearly says "$70(each)"

lol, and now magically, the store says 24" rod (each).

jaadgy, B&H sells a pair of 19mm carbon fiber rods for $92.50

Hi,

The site has been updated since the original post, so I'm sorry for the confusion. :-) Yesterday there was only one set of rods available (24"). I figured that if Shawn was confused and he's already ordered then there was an issue, but I should have loaded up the new store first to check. Sorry about that!

I probably inspired that website change. Dangit! I hate when I cause new rules...

Häakon · 09-10-2007, 10:30 PM

Especially new $70 rules :-P

you sure are funny, Shawn...lol. I'll tell ya what, if those cavision rods are actually 24" I'd prefer those over the steel rods 'cause I dig the black carbon fiber look. I've never had any carbon fiber rod break like they say.

We are sorry for any confusion. We'll post additional accessories (including carbon fiber rods) as soon as we can. Remember that all carbon fiber rods should come with a WARNING! They can EXPLODE...
