Ikan STR-LS1 STRATUS 15mm Static Lens Support

Durable Lens Support for 15mm Rod Camera Rigs

The Ikan STR-LS1 STRATUS 15mm Static Lens Support is a compact, lightweight accessory built to stabilize longer or heavier lenses on rigs with standard 15mm LWS rods. Designed for non-rotating lens barrels, this support helps prevent lens sag and stress on your camera mount, keeping your image sharp and your gear safe. It's ideal for professional filmmakers and photographers working with cinema-style lenses or larger zooms.

Vertical Adjustment for Flexible Lens Positioning

Featuring a 7/8" vertical travel range, the STR-LS1 allows you to fine-tune the support height to fit a wide range of lens diameters and camera setups. This flexibility is especially helpful when using accessories like matte boxes or follow focus systems that can shift lens position relative to the rods. With this level of adjustment, you get proper support without compromising your rig layout.

Slide-On and Drop-In Mounting Options for Quick Setup

The open-ended 15mm rod clamp is angled to provide two installation options. You can drop the support directly onto the rods from above or slide it on from the front like a traditional rod-mounted accessory. This convenience speeds up changes on set and makes lens swaps faster during production, especially in handheld or run-and-gun configurations where time is limited.

Solid Build Quality Without Extra Bulk

Crafted from precision-machined aluminum, the STR-LS1 offers dependable strength while keeping weight low. This makes it a practical addition to rigs where every ounce matters, such as gimbal or shoulder-mounted systems. Its minimalist design adds critical lens support without cluttering your camera build.

Ideal for Non-Rotating Cinema and Zoom Lenses

This static support is intended for use with lenses that maintain a consistent barrel position during focus or zooming. It’s an excellent match for cinema primes, telephoto zooms, and other non-collapsing lenses that benefit from a rigid contact point along their length. By distributing the load off the lens mount, it extends the longevity of both your lens and your camera body.

A Simple and Reliable Tool for Long-Term Use

The STRATUS lens support is designed to be straightforward and dependable—no moving arms, no locking joints, just a vertical post and stable base. That simplicity means fewer failure points and easier setup across a variety of rigs and shooting styles.
