Q: 5. Which length rod do I need for the Zacuto Lens Support? There's a model with a 1" rod and another with a 2" rod. I realize I can drop the 2" rod down in the mount if I need to, but can someone definitively tell me if the 1" will fit, or the 2"? Thanks in advance.

A: With this question you also have to consider the rig itself and how the lens will sit on it. Because of that we recommend going with the model that has the longer, 2.5" rod. It is better to have the longer rod which can be adjusted, B&H # ZAZ14LS25. https://bhpho.to/2K8Elo5
