Tilta 6" Hydra Electronic Suction Cup, Black

Introducing the Hydra Electronic Suction Cup (6 inch). This next-generation 6" Electronic Suction Cup builds on the intelligent design of the 4.5" version with a larger pad and significantly increased holding power for more flexible mounting configurations. The integrated air-pressure monitoring system samples pressure 1000 times per second, continuously analyzing suction performance and displaying real-time status information on the wireless monitor's screen. (not included)

If the system detects a drop in pressure, the internal motor automatically restores suction by pumping out additional air, helping prevent the suction cup from detaching during use. The larger 6" design delivers up to 100% greater suction force compared to the 4.5" model, providing a more secure connection for heavier payloads or challenging environments.

The upgraded high-performance motor achieves full suction in as little as 2 seconds, representing a 200% faster attachment time compared to the previous generation. Despite the increased power, the motor operates quietly at under 60dB, making it suitable for professional production environments. The system also automatically adapts to high-altitude conditions, ensuring reliable suction performance even when atmospheric pressure changes.

Powering the system is a long lasting internal battery that can operate for up to 19 hours under normal conditions which is approximately 3 hours longer than the 4.5" version. The battery also supports 5V/1A USB-C external power input, allowing for extended operation when connected to external power sources.

For quick and convenient removal, the suction cup now features a dedicated release button. Suction can also be released wirelessly, allowing operators to detach the mount remotely when needed. Durability has also been improved with IPX5 water resistance, allowing the suction cup to operate reliably in light rain and other challenging outdoor conditions.

The modular mounting system supports multiple mounting options via 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads with locating points. Different mounts can be purchased to support Hydra systems like the Alien, Alien Pro, Alien Mini. More unique mounts are also available such as the Manfrotto Ball Head Mount and the Baby Pin Mount which allows the suction cup to support lights.

For delicate surfaces, an optional "No-Mark" Suction Pad can be used to help prevent marks from forming on the mounting surface. When using this accessory, the maximum recommended payload is 66 lbs (30 kg).

• Car Mounting
• Glass / Mirror Mounting
• Creative Angles
• High-Altitude Shooting

Attaches In 4 Seconds
Faster Attachment Time 100% Attachment time dramatically reduced. In fast-paced scenarios like car shoots and quick location changes, get into shooting mode faster and never miss the key shots.

Long Battery Life
6" model offers 3+ hours longer runtime than the 4.5" model.

High-Altitude Mode
Press the pressure release button six times to activate Altitude Mode. This feature optimizes performance for high-elevation environments where atmospheric pressure is lower. For maximum security and load capacity at high altitudes, we recommend using additional suction cups.

Enhanced Suction and Stability
The composite silicone suction pad creates a secure seal on a variety of surface types. This 6 model provides a significant increase in suction strength and stability compared to the 4.5 version, offering the support needed for heavier rigs.

IPX5 Water Resistance
Resistant to rain, and outdoor conditions. Reliable in changing weather.

Payload Weight up to 106 lbs
Supports payloads up to 106 lbs when vertically mounted or 66 lbs horizontally, providing a stronger and more secure hold for heavy-duty setups and harsh environments.

Real-Time Pressure Monitoring
Automatically detects air pressure conditions, 1000 pressure checks per second. Activates when pressure drops, keeps suction secure at all times.

Multiple Alerts For Safety
Integrate with the Wireless Monitoring Module (sold separately) to monitor suction status, battery levels, and signal in real time. Receive instant alerts to ensure smooth and safe shooting.

Release Modes

Remote release
New remote release mode, operate even when away from the rig.

Manual release
Press-and-hold safety design Prevents accidental release.

No-Mark Suction Pad
Strong connection without surface damage. No-mark pad helps prevent dents on soft surfaces (car wraps, fridge panels, etc.).
