Guys and gals, I’m working on my birthday list for the wife and family (yay for being a spoiled middle-aged man) and I’ve thought to add a two-handed parallel Landmine handle to the list. I can do them just fine using the bar alone, of course, and I also currently just slide my cable double D handle underneath the bar and make that work, but... I need to put something on the list, and this isn’t enough of an upgrade that I’m likely to buy it myself in the meanwhile. ;P
(I say that now....)
Anyway, looking at the European options I think that ATX once again looks like my best bet.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m always happy with Rogue gear, but their offering seems a bit bulkier:

Any particular reason, in your view, why I should favor the Rogue option? I’m not seeing it - looks like unnecessary excess steel.

The ATX one looks fine. Consider getting something like this, then you can use any attachment.

I just recently got a little $35 landmine attachment on amazon. Installed it under my dumbbell rack, and was pleased to find that my good old $20 pulldown v grip handle fits under my crappy "beater" barbell super solid and allows for a nice symmetrical row. I'm really enjoying these rows. If you have a v grip handle laying around give it a shot, otherwise try to buy the most basic one and you'll likely be pleased with the result.

I had bought the Titan attachment that was like the Rogue piece you linked and I didn't care for it. Maybe having the handle further back from the weight changed the way the movement felt IDK. Ended up selling it. I made an attachment like Eric posted and do like using different handles with it.
Now OK for Sig line to be a novel

I got me the Linebacker Squat landmine attachment from Titan:

combined with the landmine stand also from Titan:

and at the risk of sounding like a Titan Fitness commercial, I also got Titan's viking press handle

for T-bar rows, I use the T-bar row handle from New York Barbells:

while I love NYB, I can't really recommend that handle with a straight face. It does the job, but I can't help but think I could've gotten one of similar quality for cheaper off Amazon.
