Absolutely a game-changer. you can get much smoother shots and hold them for much longer with this system. Plus being able to get tracking shots and all the mounting angles you can achieve. I absolutely love it!!

Asked by: ariel
The Tilta Hydra Alien Car Mounting System is a complete kit. However, You could attach other gear to it. But this would be something that would be very specific to your Rigging needs and mounting.

What are the best stiffness settings for using it with an A7SIII with a lighter lens?
Asked by: David
The Tilta Hydra Alien Car Mounting System (V-Mount) does have settings for payload weight. It is up to the you to set the weight of the payload by adjusting the pressure of the arm, Tilta does not have pre-set stiffness settings on the arm, unfortunately. I would recommend generally using a bit heavier setup to achieve a more stable image.
