Tilta Hydra Electronic Suction Cup Overview

Achieve motorized suction with ease using this 4.5" Hydra Electronic Suction Cup with NATO Mounting Bracket from Tilta for dynamic vehicle-mounted shots. The suction cup is equipped with a high-performance motor that secures to your surface of choice in just five seconds. Air pressure detection occurs in real time and is displayed on the integrated LCD while additional air is automatically pumped in.

Included with the suction cup is a mounting bracket with a NATO rail, two 1/4"-20 threads, and one 3/8"-16 thread to accommodate different rigs. The suction cup itself can support vertical loads up to 44.1 lb. A 2000mAh battery keeps the suction cup running for up to eight hours and recharges via a USB-C port with PD support.

ELECTRONIC SUCTION CUP SAFETY NOTICE
The Electronic Suction Cup, like other suction cups, has the potential to leave marks on various surfaces. It is recommended to take precautions such as using protective film or other materials to protect the surface being used. Using these suction cups in direct sunlight or in hotter environments can increase the chance of leaving a mark. It is not recommended to use these suction cups with wrapped vehicles.

It is recommended to use this suction cup on a flat surface with the weight of the arm balanced over the center of the suction cup. Extending the arm past the suction cup or side mounting the suction cup can increase the risk of failure. In these situations, it is recommended that you take additional precautions, such as further securing the system with Ratchet Straps or Safety Chains.

Regardless of additional safety measures, it is always recommended to push down the suction cup when first attaching it to any surface. The suction cup should be as flat against the surface as possible and should look noticeably flatter than when not attached. Attaching the suction cup without applying physical force to it can greatly increase the chance of accidental disconnection.

Tilta Hydra Electronic Suction Cup Reviews

THE GOOD BAD, AND UGLY

This product will do what it advertises, BUT beware of the strong suction puckering painted walls. The black rubber will almost always leave black marks. All in all I will find use for it, because it works, and it has a very cool factor.....

Amazing product for a great price

The max battery life on the Tilta Hydra Electronic Suction Cup with NATO Mounting Bracket (4.5") will vary depending on conditions, but Tilta claims it can handle up to 14 hours of continuous shooting.
