About this product
The Tilta Hydra 6-inch Electronic Suction Cup is a battery-powered, self-monitoring suction mount for car and smooth-surface camera rigs, rated up to 106 lb vertically.
Quick Answer
The Tilta Hydra Electronic Suction Cup (6 Inch) is a powered suction mount that attaches cameras and small rigs to smooth, non-porous surfaces like car body panels, glass, and polished hard surfaces. It's the larger of Tilta's two Hydra suction cups, sized for shooters running heavier camera and lens combinations than the smaller cup handles. In a kit it is the mounting base only: its internal motor reaches full suction in as little as 2 seconds and automatically re-pumps if pressure drops, and live pressure status shows on Tilta's wireless monitoring module, sold separately. Tilta rates it for up to 106 lb vertical or 66 lb horizontal.
Not Recommended For
- It is not meant for porous or textured mounting surfaces, since it is built to hold vacuum on smooth, non-porous surfaces such as car panels, glass, and polished hard surfaces.
- It is not a complete rig by itself: camera, lens, and Hydra control electronics are all sold separately.
