Tilta Hydra Articulating Car Mounting captures smooth, dynamic action shots from the interior or exterior of a vehicle.​

Tilta crafts the Hydra system for effortless vehicle shots inside or outside cars. You capture dynamic action with ease.

Tilta includes three electronic suction cups with NATO rails. Heavy-duty arms adjust freely. A 75mm ball head tilts up to 15° for perfect angles. Battery power monitors suction in real time. Cups auto-boost pressure if leaks occur.

Secure Arca-type or Manfrotto rigs with the quick-release plate. Add the 75/100mm bowl adapter for other heads. The full rig handles 44 lb to support most setups. Pack everything in the carry case for easy travel.

Suction Cup Safety Guide

Electronic cups may mark surfaces like other suction cups. Protect paint with film or padding. Avoid direct sun and heat to prevent marks. Skip wrapped vehicles entirely.

Mount on flat surfaces. Balance arm weight over each cup’s center. Avoid extending arms beyond cups or side-mounting. This reduces failure risk.

Use ratchet straps or safety chains for extended setups. Always push down firmly when attaching. Cups must lie completely flat—flatter than when loose. Skip this step and risk disconnection.
