The SCHOEPS RG 12 is a stand connector that joins two STR vertical support rods or any other rods with a diameter of 12 mm. The manufacturer states that the angle can be adjusted over a wide range, allowing the second rod to be positioned relative to the first.

When a CMC is fixed at the end of the angled rod and no counterweight is used, SCHOEPS recommends an approximate maximum length of 50 cm for that rod. The official order number is 161403. The manufacturer lists the STR vertical support rod as a recommended accessory.
