The Mitchell Mount That Defies Physics
The Ultimate Mitchell Rigging Attachment Point for Modular Truss
Until now, grips, riggers and engineers faced a physical impossibility: standard washers large enough to overlap the "clover" opening of a modular truss simply wouldn't fit through the hole to get inside. This forced a compromise between stability and accessibility.
The Magic Mitchell Set is the "Missing Link" for ModTruss accessories, solving this with a proprietary Slotted Washer design. Whether used in camera setups, aerospace assembly jigs, industrial frameworks, or exhibition rigging, our precision-machined slit allows a full-sized 2.75-inch Mitchell washer to be threaded through the truss opening. This unlocks a high-strength rigging attachment point where it was previously impossible.
Key Features
Proprietary Slotted Innovation: The only professional way to bridge standard Mitchell gear to the internal structure of the 3"GRID without oversized access points.
Zero-Drop Magnetic Lock: Integrated rare earth magnets snap the hardware into a perfect flush position against the interior wall. No more "fishing" for dropped parts while the clock is ticking.
Industrial-Grade Stability: Engineered for material handling and heavy-duty portable rigging, providing rock-solid confidence for the heaviest camera heads and lighting offsets.
Lightning-Fast Install: Position the washer, drop the receiver, and secure the castle nut. A secure, one-handed installation in seconds.
Tech Specs
Material: High-grade aluminum(6061), rare earth magnets and steel.
Mounting Pattern: Optimized for 3 inch center-to-center hole patterns (ModTruss, MeccaTruss, Modulus X). 3"GRID
Thread Compatibility: Standard 2.75-inch Mitchell thread.
What's Included
(1) Mitchell Receiver
(1) Slotted Magic Washer (Magnetic)
(1) Brass Castle Nut
Compatibility
Designed as a core component of the 3"GRID ecosystem. Seamlessly integrates with ModTruss, MeccaTruss, and Modulus X.
FAQ
How does a full-sized washer fit through the truss hole?
That is the magic. The precision slit allows the washer to be "threaded" into the truss opening. It is a specific technique that enables a high-strength overlap that was previously physically impossible.
Is this suitable for industrial or aerospace applications?
Absolutely. While designed for cinematography, the extreme strength and "Zero-Drop" safety profile make it the gold standard for aerospace ground support and industrial rigging attachment points.

Eliminate Flex with Native Euro Precision
Stop compromising your frame with stacked adapters. While Mitchell mounts are industry standard, using a Mitchell-to-Euro chain on a native Euro dolly introduces parasitic flex that kills the precision of your move. The Euro Mount for x2 Slider provides a direct, rock-solid connection, ensuring your cinema slider rigging remains rigid under load.
Total Freedom of Movement
The true power of the x2 Slider is the ability to operate without end supports. With this Euro adapter, your dolly isn't just a static base—it becomes part of the choreography. Move the entire dolly during a take while the slider handles the micro-adjustments, giving you a level of spatial freedom impossible with traditional setups.
Technical Specifications & Compatibility
Native Integration: Designed specifically for professional dolly rigging on native Euro-mount systems.
The 7" Standard: This mount requires the Hudson Spider 7" round base plate hole pattern.
Retrofit Advisory: If you are currently running an older 6" pattern, contact us for retrofitting advice to bridge your gear to the modern MOD 3" Grid System.

Stop Adapting and Start Bolting
Standard Speed-Rail starters rely on 3/8" threads—too small for the high-load demands of professional truss. This forces you into a world of "make-it-work" rigging: cheese plates, oversized washers, and wasted time.
The MOD Speed-Rail® Starter is the essential first link for hybrid rigging. Engineered with heavy-duty 5/8"-11 or M16 threads, it bolts directly to the MOD 3"GRID without intermediate hardware. This is professional-grade modular truss rigging designed for speed, strength, and zero-compromise security.
The Pro-Rigging Advantage
Direct Integration: Bolts straight to ModTruss, MeccaTruss, or Modulus X hardware.
No More Cheese Plates: Eliminates the need for adapter plates and extra steps.
High-Torque Hardware: Massive 5/8"-11 or M16 threads provide superior shear strength over standard 3/8" grip gear.
The Hybrid Bridge: The definitive truss pipe adapter to transition from structural truss to standard 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" pipe.
Technical Specifications
Pipe Compatibility: Available for 1-1/4" (1.66" OD) and 1-1/2" (1.90" OD) Speed-Rail®.
