Product overview
The SCHOEPS RG 8 is a swivel joint for clamping RC or RL extension tubes to STR support rods.
It is used for mounting a Colette active extension tube RC or a CCM-series extension tube RL on an STR support rod. The RG 8 does not have to be ordered separately: it comes with the RC and RL tubes.
