Bought the Tilta Car Mount and got this free with it. Makes my footage so smooth love it!

Huge Improvement

This works so much better than the original shock mount that comes with the Hydra Alien. My footage had a really bad side to side wobble with the old mount, and this new soft mount cleared that up right away. This really should just come with the Hydra Alien kit, because the whole rig is useless without it. Maybe if you have a really heavy camera kit the old mount might work. At least Tilta did the right thing by offering this at all. It is a much better solution than trying to modify the original. Works great with my Komodo and Sigma 18-35 on the RS2.

Asked by: RYAN
The Tilta Hydra Alien Shock-Absorbing Head with Soft Spring Module's connection point is designed specifically to connect to the Tilta Hydra Alien/Predator Arms. Tilta does not list the specific threading of that mounting point.

what is the part number for quick adapter plate that mounts to this? or is it standard Manfrotto plate compatible? thanks
Asked by: RYAN
The Tilta Hydra Alien Shock-Absorbing Head with Soft Spring Module is actually a Manfrotto style plate but does not accommodate all Manfrotto plates. The two compatible plates Tilta offers come with the Hydra Alien car mounting system and the arca/manfrotto plate that comes with the Tilta 15mm LWS Arca Manfrotto Dual Baseplate and Tilta Lightweight Shoulder Rig. Otherwise, there are no third-party Manfrotto plate solutions that are guaranteed to fit this head.  Tilta 15mm LWS Arca-Type/Manfrotto Dual Baseplate Kit (Black) BH #TIADBPKB

Curious if this would work to reduce vibration for a 5-7lb camera rig mounted on a tripod stationed in basketball bleachers?
Asked by: Cody
The Tilta Hydra Alien Shock-Absorbing Head with Soft Spring Module very well may do the job but the Celestron Vibration Suppression Pads for Tripods (BH #CEVSP) is the tool for the job.

what is the weight capacity of this mount if I use it as hanger?
Asked by: raymond
The Tilta Hydra Alien Shock-Absorbing Head with Soft Spring Module is designed to work with the payload weights of the DJI RS 3 or RS 2 in an inverted orientation. The payload weight of the DJI RS3 would be about 10lbs.
