I ordered the RodRig Mini-Flex Carbon, and unfortunately, I regret it now.
The shipping was fast, but there was no tracking number available on the website. After a week with no package, I sent my first message, which was never answered. A few days later I sent a second one – this time Ståle replied with a tracking number, but without saying where to use it. I eventually found it out myself.
After two weeks (!), the package finally arrived in Germany — with a manual for the wrong product inside. On top of that, I had to pay 19% import fees upon delivery, which hadn’t been mentioned anywhere.
And the best part: the mount doesn’t fit any standard setup — it only works with the RodRig teleskopic mount, something that was not mentioned on the website or by the seller.
So in the end, I spent around €90 for something I can’t use. Really disappointing experience.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations, and I’d like to clarify a few points.
Regarding the tracking number: I understand the frustration and apologize for the delay in my initial reply. The tracking number was provided as soon as it became available, and while I didn’t include a direct link, it’s a standard format usable on most postal tracking sites. I’ll work on improving clarity in future communications.
As for the manual — the Mini-Flex Carbon follows the same principle as the Rodrig Classic, with two aluminum tubes crossing inside the carbon tube. It’s a simple and intuitive design, and this is the first time I’ve received feedback suggesting that additional instructions were needed. That said, I’m happy to provide a visual guide if that would help.
Regarding import fees: these are applied by your local customs office and are unfortunately outside my control. It’s standard practice for international shipments outside the EU, and I regret if this wasn’t clear at the time of purchase.
Finally, about compatibility: the Mini-Flex Carbon is designed to work in tandem with the Rodrig Classic — specifically as a replacement for one of the static rod holders, offering adjustable functionality. It can also be used as a standalone rod holder or camera mount. I’ll review the product page to ensure this is communicated more clearly, and I appreciate you pointing it out.
I truly regret that the product didn’t meet your expectations, and I’m always open to improving both communication and clarity. If there’s anything I can do to help resolve the situation further, I’m here.
Veldig bra - fikk det til å passe på samtlige packrafts som var med på turen 👍
Veldig bra kvalitet, og romsligere en jeg forventet.
Description misleading
Hi Joost,
Thanks for your feedback, though I’m genuinely sorry to see the low rating. Just to clarify—the 110W FinDrive panel isn’t advertised as compatible with ThrustMe products. That’s a separate 60W panel, and the product description reflects that. I also offered to help with sourcing a correct SP21 plug despite they are not sold separately from us or exchange panel, but didn’t hear back what you prefferred. I always do my best to support my customers, and I’d love to find a solution that works for you.
Warm regards,
Ståle
Great packraft, super comfy! Only issue is that with shoes i find it abit hard to sit, but as initial its not made to be used with shoes.
Great to hear you are happy about the MRS Microraft:-) Instead of using shoes I can reccomend using waterproof shoe bags. They are inexpensive and will make it super comfy to sit in the packraft for hours without getting wet when going in and out of the water. I`ve been using them since i started with packrafts and is really reccomended. Brgds Stale
Helt genial og solid stangholder av meget god kvalitet som er hvert hver en krone.
Denne kan jeg anbefale på det sterkeste!
Burde hatt en ventil som passet inni Boston-ventilen også.
Hei,
takk for tilbakemeldingen. Pumpesekken er ment for å blåse mye volum på kort tid og ikke beregnet for å ta det siste trykket opp til 1.2psi som er anbefalt. Vi kan anbefale å bruke en liten elektrisk pumpe som Giga pump 3.0 eller en enkel håndpumpe til dette. Disse egner seg godt fo å etterfylle luft og opprettholde trykk gjennom dagen hvis temperaturen faller. Da blir pumpesekken tungvindt.
Mvh
Ståle
Helt konge system. No har eg fast plass til stanga og den står sikkert. Og ikke minst G hold festet der eg kan trykt legge fast padleåra så den er utav veien når eg ikke bruker den. Og koppholder combo som eg kan ha drikke slukboks og telefon i. Veldig fornøyd med det.
Didn't receive it. I have send an email to the company but didn't get a reply yet. Please contact me so we can find a solution.

Bought the Rodrig mini-flex carbon for my (Kipara Char 245) packraft adventure at Kvennavassdraget, Hardangervidda, Norway this summer. Because of the amount of equipment and a dog onboard as well, it had to be mounted at the stern of the packraft. It worked out perfectly well, and I caught a lot(!) of trout while paddling and also sailing my packraft. If anything, I wish the mount for the fishing rod was a bit better though. The rubber band (that «locks» the rod in the mount) fell of a couple of times, and I could have lost my rod… I have had better mounts than this on my previous setup of canoe and similiar crafts.
Veldig fornøyd med Rodrigen og ekstra utstyret. Veldig kjekt med en plass å feste åra ut av veien og oppbevarings plass til drikke og slukboks. Anbefales.
Genial gadget! Hadde på forhånd forsøkt å lage en tilsvarende løsning selv - men denne er mer gjennomtenkt, enkel i bruk, kompakt, solid og lett - og prisen var heller ikke avskrekkende. Verdt hver krone.
perfekt til pacraft.
veldig god og rask service!
