The Ultimate in Safety for Moving Vehicle Shots
When you are rigging a heavy cinema camera to the bonnet of a moving car, failure is not an option. The Tilta Hydra Articulating Car Mounting System takes vehicle rigging to the next level by replacing standard manual pumps with active, battery-powered Electronic Suction Cups. This system is designed for high-end professional productions across the UK that require fast setups, unique low-profile angles, and uncompromising safety.
Key Features for Your Production:
- Active Electronic Suction: The three 6-inch suction cups are battery-powered and monitor air pressure 1,000 times per second. If a microscopic leak or loss of pressure is detected, the internal motors automatically pump additional air to ensure the rig never detaches.
- Massive 20kg Payload: Built from high-strength aluminium alloy and stainless steel, the heavy-duty triangular support system can comfortably carry camera packages up to 20kg (44 lbs).
- Total Articulation: Each suction arm features robust, reversible locking knobs, allowing you to position the camera at extreme angles on curved windshields, side doors, or tight car interiors.
- Manfrotto Quick Release Integration: The central hub features a 75mm low-center-of-gravity ball head equipped with a Manfrotto Quick Release receiver. This allows operators to slide their camera directly from a tripod onto the car mount in seconds. (Also supports Arca plates).
- 15° Leveling: The integrated bowl head allows for up to 15 degrees of horizontal adjustment, making it incredibly easy to level your horizon after the suction cups are locked in place.
