The JRod Store is a supplier of custom made DSLR (digital single lens reflex) and compact video camera accessory mounts. The function of these high quality mounts is to allow multiple devices to be mounted on the cameras, with the goal of keeping the camera as small and light as possible. Some accessories that can be added are microphones, wireless receivers, audio recorders,video lights, and field monitors. At thejrodstore.com there is also a selection of products to compliment the custom mounts, such as audio cables, recorders, camera bags, and other mounting alternatives and adapters to solve difficult shooting situations. There are three custom mounts on the site: 1.The J-Cube, made to mount on a \”hot shoe\” and give 3 mounting points. 2.The SSTM which replaces the mic clamp on a Sony EX1 and EX3 camera with a much stronger and versatile mount. 3. The Original J-Rod Twin, which mounts in the microphone clamp on any video camera, and gives the videographer 2 mounting points for a mic and a radio receiver. All of The J-Rod mounts are made of anodized aluminum that is strong and light.


Site Owner Jeff Rhode describes the newest mounting solution from The JRod Store, The J-Cube: I have a brand new bracket called The J-Rod CUBE which will allow a microphone and a radio receiver to be mounted on your camera and leave a shoe open for an audio recorder, light, flash, hard disc, or extra receiver. I am really excited about this mount, and think is a great solution for a mounting problem that many people have. This is an awesome solution for HDSLR cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II, 1D MkIV, 7D, Rebel T1i, Rebel XSi, Nikon D300, D3S, or D90. Additionally if you have a video camera such as the Canon GL1, GL2, or the Sony FX1 or VX2100 that has a shoe mount, but no mic clamp, this is for you!

Check out the reviews IndieV.org : Last year when I was looking for a wireless mount solution for my pair of Sennheiser G2s I came across and reviewed the J-Rod. Since then, the J-Rod has proven handy on countless occasions. Anything that required a wireless mount plus onboard camera light called for the J-Rod which was pretty much every wedding and corporate gig I’ve done.

Fast forward to now, Jeff has created another mounting solution called the J-Rod Cube. For simplicity sake, I’m just going to call it the J-Cube (why didn’t you call it this?). The J-Cube improves upon the J-Rod in a number of ways. Firstly it doesn’t require a microphone mount to function so it can work on anything with a hotshoe holder.

This is particularly handy for the new breed of DSLR video cameras out there that despite the awesome images they create, record pretty crap onboard sound. The J-Cube allows you to mount a Zoom H4n or similar recording device to your camera plus a couple of wireless mic packs that would turn any DSLR into a production ready tool. I don’t own a Zoom yet but I’ve mounted a couple of G2′s plus an on-camera light to my 7D to show you how much stuff you can add to your camera.

The J-Rod is used by video journalists at Raycom Media, NBC Universal, CNN, The Star-Ledger, The Dallas Morning News, The Washington Post, Detroit Free Press, WTKR News (Norfalk, VA) and film crews in over 30 countries.
