One Tilta Wireless Monitoring Module watching several Hydra electronic suction cups at once

The Tilta Wireless Monitoring Module shows live suction pressure in kPa and the battery level of every Hydra electronic suction cup on your rig, up to 12 at once, and sounds an alarm the moment one loses suction. It weighs 38 g, runs on USB-C power and mounts by its 1/4"-20 thread wherever the driver or grip can see it.

Key Features

  • Monitors up to 12 Hydra electronic suction cups at the same time, with a separate status for each cup.
  • Response time is 50 ms with 1 to 6 cups connected and 100 ms with up to 12 cups.
  • Audible and visual alarms fire as soon as suction pressure drops, and a vibration alert is also available.
  • Each alert type, vibration, sound and on-screen colour warning, can be switched on or off, and the alarm volume is adjustable.
  • Shows suction pressure (kPa) and battery level of every wirelessly connected cup.
  • Works from -20°C to 90°C, inside the car or outside on the body.
  • Plug-and-play: USB-C power, no manual pairing, and a 1/4"-20 thread for mounting.
  • Built for the Hydra 4.5 inch electronic suction cup and newer versions, including the 6 inch cup, which displays its status on this wireless monitor.

In the Box

  • 1x Wireless Monitoring Module for Hydra Electronic Suction Cup

How It Compares

  • 4.5 inch cups on their own: each cup shows its status on its own built-in screen. The module brings the readings from up to 12 cups onto one screen you can mount in the cabin.
  • 6 inch cups: Tilta shows the Tilta Hydra Electronic Suction Cup (6 Inch) status on the wireless monitor's screen, which is sold separately, so this module is the display for 6 inch rigs.
  • Multi-cup rigs: on a three-cup system such as the Hydra Articulating Car Mounting System, one module watches every cup at once.

FAQ

Does it work with the Hydra 6 inch electronic suction cup?

Yes. Tilta designed the module for the 4.5 inch electronic cup and later versions, and the 6 inch cup sends its real-time status to the wireless monitor's screen.

Do I have to pair each suction cup?

No manual pairing is required. Power the module over USB-C and it picks up the connected cups.

How many cups can it watch at once?

Up to 12. It updates every 50 ms with 1 to 6 cups and every 100 ms with up to 12, and shows each cup's status separately.

Can I silence the beep during a take?

Yes. Vibration, sound and on-screen colour alerts can each be turned on or off, and the sound volume is adjustable, so you can keep a silent vibration alert on set.
