Key Selling Points
The Tilta Hydra Articulating Car Mounting System is a three-leg car camera mount: three 6 inch suction cups, three heavy-duty articulating arms and a 75mm ball head that takes Manfrotto and Arca quick release plates, rated for camera payloads up to 44 lb. Choose regular suction cups, or the electronic version whose battery-powered cups watch their pressure in real time and pump out air automatically if one starts to leak.
Key Features
- Three 6 inch suction cups and heavy-duty articulating arms carry payloads up to 44 lb while the system stays light enough to rig quickly.
- Each articulating arm carries up to 17.5 lb and has a reversible locking knob.
- The 75mm ball head has a low centre of gravity, up to 15 degrees of adjustment and a bubble level; other 75mm tripod heads also fit.
- The head takes Arca and Manfrotto quick release plates, so mirrorless and lightweight cinema cameras mount with or without a cage.
- The ball has dual 1/4" and 3/8" screws plus anti-slip screws for flat-base heads.
- NATO quick release connections between the cups, arms and head keep setup fast.
- Electronic version: three battery-powered cups monitor pressure in real time and increase suction automatically if a cup leaks, and a soft carrying case is included.
- High-strength aluminum alloy and stainless steel construction.
In the Box
- Regular Suction Cups: 1x Hydra Articulating Car Mounting System, 1x 1/4 Allen Key, 1x 3mm Allen Key, 1x 2.5mm Allen Key
- Electronic Suction Cups: 1x Hydra Articulating Car Mounting System with Electronic Suction Cups, 1x 1/4 Allen Key, 1x 2.5mm Allen Key, 1x Soft Carrying Case for Hydra Articulating Car Mounting System with Electronic Suction Cups
How It Compares
- Choose regular suction cups if you rig on clean, flat panels and check the cups yourself between takes.
- Choose electronic suction cups if you want each cup to watch its own pressure and re-pump automatically while the car is moving. This version also comes with a soft carrying case.
- Lighter cameras: for an Osmo Pocket, action camera or phone up to 600 g, the Tilta Hydra Alien Mini Electronic Suction Cup (6 Inch) Kit is a smaller one-cup rig.
