EVT290S Truss Systems Knowledge Center
1.75 m Matte Black Square Truss Straight Section.
For Stable Motion Capture, Studio Grids, and Stage Structures.
The EVT290S-175 Black is a matte-black 1.75 m / 5.74 ft straight section for compatible EVT290S, F34, and matching 290 mm square-truss systems. Use this member where a stable motion-capture camera structure, studio grid, stage framework, trade-show exhibit, or other compatible build calls for a 1.75 m straight run.
Identity and Core Facts
Straight Section Overview
1.75 m F34 Square Truss for Stable Camera-Mount Systems.
The EVT290S-175 Black is a 1.75 m straight member for compatible 290 mm square-truss systems. It is selected when a project needs an intermediate-length module between shorter straight sections and longer standard members. Use it for planned stable camera-mount structures, studio grids, stage frameworks, trade-show exhibits, and other truss runs that require this length.
Length Selection
Why Choose a 5.74 ft Straight Truss Section?
A 1.75 m section is useful when the project drawing calls for an intermediate span between shorter straight sections and longer standard members. It can replace a combination of shorter sections where the completed layout calls for one 1.75 m straight run.
Matte Black Finish
Built to Support the Scene—Not Compete with It.
The EVT290S-175 Black uses a matte-black powder-coated finish for installations where truss should be visually restrained. Compared with bright aluminum surfaces, a matte-black truss finish can help reduce visible reflection and allow the structure to recede into darker production, presentation, studio, and exhibit environments.
Camera Stability Infrastructure
Truss Support for Stable Camera-Mount Structures.
The EVT290S-175 Black can be used within a project-specific truss layout for stable mounting of compatible optical-tracking cameras and related studio equipment. A properly designed, secured truss camera structure can help keep cameras fixed in position around the capture area and reduce the need for recalibration caused by movement. The truss does not perform motion capture or establish tracking accuracy; camera placement, line of sight, calibration, lighting, cable routing, support conditions, and the completed system design remain project-specific.
Applications
A 1.75 m Member for Camera, Studio, Stage, and Exhibit Systems.
Use the EVT290S-175 Black wherever a compatible truss build calls for a 1.75 m / 5.74 ft section. The completed structure determines the required supports, rigging method, loads, and accessories.
Series Construction
290 mm Square Truss with Conical Coupler Connections.
The EVT290S-175 Black carries the core construction of the EVT290S series in a 1.75 m straight section: a 290 x 290 mm square profile, 50 mm main chords, 20 mm diagonal braces, EN AW-6082 T6 aluminum, matte-black powder coat, and conical end connections.
Included Connection Hardware
What Ships with the EVT290S-175 Black.
Each straight section ships with the connection hardware used to join it to compatible conical-receiver components. Confirm the project component schedule before assembly; a finished structure may also require longer sections, corners, base plates, clamps, ballast, rigging hardware, and other project-specific items.

System Compatibility
Match the Truss Profile and Connection Before You Build.
The EVT290S-175 Black is intended for compatible EVT290S, F34, and matching 290 mm square-truss systems using conical connections. Similar appearance alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm the receiver spacing, coupler fit, chord spacing, alignment, and applicable system documentation before assembly.
Related System Components
Add the Accessories Required by Your Configuration.
The EVT290S-175 Black fits within a broader 290 mm truss system. Related components should be selected separately according to the planned structure and approved application; their product pages carry their own fit, use, and working-load information where applicable.
Connection and Inspection
Confirm Fit First. Then Seat, Pin, and Retain.
Once receiver spacing and compatible hardware are confirmed, assemble the connection in this order. Prepare the current project drawing, compatible mating components, supplied connection hardware, and approved support or rigging plan. Assemble on a stable work surface with access to inspect every receiver and pin location.
Engineering Reference
F34 Load-Span Information Applies to the Completed Truss Run.
Compatible F34 load-span tables are available as a general reference for simply supported truss runs up to 39.4 ft / 12 m. The tables address the completed truss configuration—not an individual EVT290S-175 Black straight section—and should be used only with the applicable engineering notes, connection requirements, and project review.
System Responsibility
Capacity Comes from the Completed Configuration.
This 5.74 ft / 1.75 m section does not establish an independent span or load rating for a finished structure. Determine capacity from the complete arrangement, including connected components, span, orientation, supports, attachment locations, rigging method, applied loads, camera and lighting equipment, and environmental exposure. Use applicable manufacturer load tables and engineering information for the system being built.
Frequently Asked Questions
EVT290S-175 Black Questions.
Why choose a 5.74 ft / 1.75 m straight truss section?
Choose this section when a compatible 290 mm square-truss design calls for a 1.75 m member. It provides an intermediate-length option between shorter straight sections and longer standard modules.
Can this truss support stable motion-capture camera mounting?
It can be used as part of a properly designed and secured compatible truss layout for stable camera mounting. Confirm camera clamps, equipment mass, secondary retention, mounting locations, line of sight, calibration, cable routing, support conditions, vibration exposure, and the complete system design before use.
Why use a matte-black truss finish?
Matte-black powder coating can help reduce visible reflection and make the structural framework less visually prominent in darker, camera-facing, or presentation-focused environments. It is a finish-selection benefit, not a guarantee of camera or tracking performance.
What conical connection hardware is included?
Each EVT290S-175 Black section includes 4 conical couplers, 8 coupler pins, and 8 r-clips for compatible conical connections.
