Jodon offers a wide selection of instrument support rods and knuckles kinematically designed and precision machined in aluminum alloy with a semi-matte black anonized finish to prevent stray light reflection.

Jodon’s instrument rods come in 3 standard diameters: 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch and 1 inch (9.5 mm, 12.7 mm and 25.4 mm). All employ a 1/4-20 thread. These rods can be used with either our heavy steel bases or magnetic bases. They can also be used with other brands of instruments that use these specifications.

Our instrument knuckle line is suitable for any of our rods described above, as well as any other brand in those sizes.

We also offer a line of instrument posts that accept 1/2 inch or 1 inch rods. These mounts can be used on either heavy steel bases or magnetic bases.

Special sizes or metric sizes of the above items are also available upon request.
