Description

The Tilta Hydra Alien Car Mounting System (V-Mount) is a professional-grade rig designed for vehicle-mounted cinematography, enabling filmmakers to capture smooth, dynamic shots from moving cars. Built around a modular system of suction cups, mounting plates, and a shock-absorbing arm, it provides both stability and creative flexibilityfor complex camera setups.

At its core, the system uses a triple suction mounting system (1 large + 2 small cups) combined with dovetail platesto securely attach the rig to a vehicle. Each suction cup can support significant weight, ensuring strong and reliable mounting even in demanding conditions.

A key highlight is the shock-absorbing arm with hydraulic damping, which helps reduce vibrations and road impact. This allows for smoother footage during driving, even on uneven terrain.

The system is designed to work seamlessly with gimbals like DJI RS2 / RS3 Pro, enabling stabilized movement while mounted on the car. It also includes V-mount battery plates, allowing you to power your camera and gimbal for extended shoots (up to around 8 hours depending on setup).
