Advanced Modular Crane System for Professional Film Rigging
The Modtruss / Modulus X Crane Set is designed for filmmakers and grip professionals who require a strong, lightweight, and highly adaptable rigging solution for demanding productions.
Built around the innovative Modulus-X modular truss platform, this crane set delivers exceptional structural rigidity while remaining significantly lighter and faster to assemble than traditional truss systems. The system is engineered for modern filmmaking workflows, supporting everything from camera cranes and overhead rigs to motion-control builds and specialty camera movements.
Flexible Reach Length
The Modtruss/Modulus X Crane Set supports multiple build lengths depending on production requirements:
- Minimum length: 1070mm (3.5 ft)
- Maximum recommended length: 4200mm (13.7 ft)
Longer crane configurations can be achieved depending on setup conditions and balancing experience, but they are used at the operator’s own responsibility.
Maximum Payload Capacity
Payload capacity varies depending on crane length
- 50kg (111 lbs) payload at 1800mm (6 ft)
- 40kg (88 lbs) payload at 3000mm (10 ft)
- 30kg (66 lbs) payload at 4200mm (13.7 ft)
The system is suitable for a wide range of cinema camera packages, including stabilized heads, remote heads, and gimbal setups.
The modular connection system enables:
- Fast assembly and disassembly
- Flexible angle configurations
- Easy integration with speedrail, Mitchell mounts, cheese plates, and accessories
- Seamless compatibility with existing grip equipment
