These five Tilta brackets turn the Hydra Electronic Suction Cup (6 Inch) into a suction cup mount for lights, cameras or Hydra rigs: a baby pin for small lights, a Manfrotto-plate ball head for small cameras, a Hydra M25 bracket for Hydra Alien dovetail plates, a 67mm dovetail bracket for the Hydra Alien Pro, and a 19mm rod clamp for extra support on car rigs. Each one bolts to the cup with four 1/4"-20 screws and comes off just as easily.

FAQ

Do I need a bracket, or can I mount straight to the 6 inch cup?

The 6 inch cup has 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads with locating points, and one owner notes the outer 3/8"-16 ports are 2 inches on centre, so a standard cheese plate mounts directly. These brackets add specific connections: baby pin, Manfrotto plate, Hydra M25, dovetail or 19mm rod.

Which bracket fits the Hydra Alien Pro?

The Dovetail bracket, which fits the Alien Pro's 67mm dovetail plates and lets you add the larger electronic cup to an existing Alien Pro. The 19mm Rod bracket can also add support legs to the Alien Pro.

Is a Manfrotto plate included with the ball head bracket?

No. The Manfrotto Ball Head bracket takes a Manfrotto quick release plate, sold separately.

Can I put a light on the suction cup?

Yes. The Baby Pin bracket is made for small lighting units and similar accessories on a baby pin.
