Overview
The Kupo KS-225 16mm Diameter Tube is a professional steel rigging tube designed for use in film production, television, photography, and studio environments. It is commonly used as part of grip systems for mounting lighting fixtures, flags, scrims, modifiers, and other production accessories.
Constructed from durable steel, the KS-225 features a 16 mm (5/8") diameter, making it compatible with standard grip heads and support systems used across the industry. The tube has a length of 20" (50 cm), offering a versatile mid-length extension option for rigging setups where precise positioning and stability are required.
The surface of the tube is machined with a slightly rough texture to improve friction and prevent slipping when used in grip heads or clamps. This ensures a more secure hold during demanding production conditions. The ends are typically fitted with protective rubber caps for safety and surface protection during transport and handling.
