Description

SmartSystem Hard Mount with Mitchell and Tube Attachment

Versatile, Heavy-Duty Hard Mount for Professional Stabilizer Arms

The SmartSystem Hard Mount with Mitchell and Tube Attachment is a precision-engineered mounting solution designed for serious camera stabilization professionals. Whether you’re operating in a studio, on a vehicle rig, or within a motion rig setup, this ultra-rigid mount provides unmatched flexibility and rock-solid support for any stabilizer arm using the industry-standard mating block system.

Its adaptable core plate allows you to quickly configure the mount for either regular or goofy operation simply by swapping the position of the female mating block. The mount supports both Mitchell plate systems and tube-based rigging, making it ideal for both permanent and mobile installations.

Universal Compatibility with Stabilizer Arms

This hard mount is compatible with virtually every stabilizer arm in the market that uses the standard female mating block interface, including:

• SmartSystem Arm X1

• PRO® GPI® Titan® and Atlas®

• Tiffen Steadicam® arms

• Flowcine XArm® and Gravity One

• And other industry-standard arm systems

Dual Mounting Options: Mitchell Plate & Tube Clamp

• Mitchell Plate Compatible: Directly mounts to Mitchell bases for use on standard grip equipment, tripods, or dollies.

• Tube Mount Option: Includes a modified Half Clamp system (SWL 750kg / 1650 lbs), compatible with tubes from 48mm (1.89″) to 51mm (2.01″) in diameter, ideal for rigging onto speed rail or truss systems.

Built for Strength and Precision

• Ultra-rigid construction ensures zero flex during high-movement shots or heavy payload operation.

• Reversible female mating block mount allows quick setup for both regular and goofy configurations.

• Secure mechanical connection maintains stability in demanding environments like tracking vehicles, cranes, and dollies.

Important Note on Clamp Aesthetics

Due to the global scarcity of the original Doughty Clamp T57121, SmartSystem may supply this hard mount with an equivalent third-party Half Clamp offering the same mechanical performance (SWL 750kg). Minor aesthetic imperfections such as scratches may be present on the clamp surface due to third-party supply limitations. However, these cosmetic issues do not affect functionality or safety.

Ideal Applications

• Vehicle rigging for tracking shots

• Studio crane or jib setups

• Motion control rig systems

• Remote mounting in broadcast environments

• Gimbals and sled rigs using professional arms
