Get secure, motorized suction using the 6" Hydra Electronic Suction Cup from Tilta for dynamic vehicle-mounted shots. This suction cup supports up to 48.08 kg when mounting a vertical rig and up to 29.94 kg in a side-mounted configuration. It can be attached in just four seconds and features real-time pressure monitoring and an increased battery life.

Versatile Mounting Options

Designed for flexible rig expansion, the top mounting plate features multiple anti-twist 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads for securely attaching accessories. It also supports a wide range of optional expansion modules, including a dovetail mount, 19mm rod clamp, baby pin, NATO rail, ball head, and Hydra Alien mount, allowing you to customise your setup for different shooting applications.

Extended Battery & Wireless Monitoring

The 6" suction cup delivers up to 19 hours of battery runtime when used without the optional wireless monitoring module, providing three additional hours compared to the 4.5" version. For enhanced convenience, the separately available wireless monitoring module enables real-time monitoring of suction status, battery level, and signal strength, while sending alerts whenever attention is required.

Enhanced Suction Performance

Featuring a durable composite silicone suction pad, the 6" suction cup creates a secure seal across a variety of smooth surfaces. Compared to the original 4.5" model, it offers significantly greater suction strength and stability, making it well suited for supporting heavier camera rigs. An IPX5 water-resistant rating allows reliable outdoor use in a range of weather conditions.

Electronic Suction Cup Safety Notice

Tilta is not responsible for any damages, injuries, or legal liabilities caused directly or indirectly by the use of this product. By using this product, you are deemed to have accepted all the terms of the User Manual.

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.
