Related Questions and Answers

Q: 3. Does this work with the DJI RS3 Pro?

A: Yes, the Tilta Hydra Alien Car Mounting System is compatible with the DJI RS3 Pro,.

Q: 4. Where can you get replacement plates for the mount? Can't find them.

A: You will have to get replacement plates for the Tilta Hydra Alien Car Mounting System (V-Mount) directly through Tilta.

Q: 5. What kind of adapter is needed for this to work with the DJI Ronin m?

A: The Tilta Hydra Alien Car Mounting System (V-Mount) is compatible with any gimbal that can mount via 1/4″-20 screws and power via P-Tap.

Q: 6. What are the best stiffness settings for using it with an A7SIII with a lighter lens?

A: 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.

Q: 7. does the design of this rig make it difficult to mount the gimbal low to the ground? for example: with 1 cup connected low to the bumper and 2 cups connected to the flat/gently-curved part of the trunk/hood, it looks to me like the diagonally-mounted support strut might be easily blocked by the edge of the hood/trunk when trying to connect it from the vertical to the horizontal piece ~ does this make sense? thoughts?

A: There are a number of different ways to mount this support depending on the accessories that you would like to purchase with it and where you want to position it on the car. for example to get low angle shots it seems imperative that you purchase some single handed gimbal ( like the Ronin RS2). On the sides of the car it would be quite easy to get a low angle shot when mounted to the car door on the front or back of the car it seems as though it would be quite difficult. The design of the car will also affect how easy/difficult it is to get the shots that you want. for example in the photos they used a BMW Sedan which poses a challenge when mounting this rig to the rear but if they were to swap that car for an SUV, or mini van then there would be a lot more surface area on the back of the car making it feasible to get a low angle shot from the back.

Q: 8. Is a gimbal required

A: The Tilta Hydra Alien Car Mounting System (V-Mount) is just a mounting solution. It does not include a gimbal with the kit. This system is compatible with the DJI RS2, RS3, RS3 Pro, RS4 Pro, Crane 3S, Ronin 4D and any other gimbal that can mount via 1/4″-20 screws and power via D-Tap or internally.

Q: 9. Ronin MX on tilts Hydra Alien arm? The weight limits are there but can I mount a Ronin plate where the power adapter mount goes for use with older ronins?

A: One can consider the CineMilled Universal Mount for DJI Ronin-M/MX Gimbals BH #CICM003 to mount above the Ronin S power supply baseplate provided with the Tilta Hydra Alien Car Mounting System (V-Mount). See link below. https://bhpho.to/3pu1ipE

Q: 10. Will this work for a Ronin S?

A: No, this is only compatible with the DJI RS2 and RSC2 gimbals. It comes with the Power Baseplate for DJI RS2 and RSC2 gimbals.

[14.48 lb] This Car Mount is the first car mount I have used and have to say it's very easy to use.


Pros - Can set up in multiple angles as long as you have a flat surface. The suction cups are super strong. Tested it out at 110km/hr and worked perfect. Scary, but it was rock solid. The video isn't shaky like up and down, just a slight vibration shake from the road. Looks very natural. You can honestly put any camera or any rig set up on it. It will take 80 pounds. The video on how it sets it up is awesome. Learned a lot and applied it to different angles. Once you know how to set it up you could be rolling in 10 minutes or less. (No you do not have to put plastic on your car. We put it on a 67 Mustang and it's fine without protection)


Cons - This things doesn't come with a bag or case. Like why give 20 separate parts and not give someone a bag or case? Luckily I had one that I got from somewhere else to put all the parts inside. For certain shots you have to puzzle it together to figure out how to rig it on your car. Not necessarily a con, but sometimes you can't think.


For the price and cost it's well worth the investment. One of the best things you could buy for any car shooting.

[Black] Fits our 1-1/2 speed rail perfectly. They should change the title for the US market. The 1-1/2 speed rail standard has 1-7/8 outer diameter that fits this.

[Black] 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.

[14.48 lb] Bought this on deal zone and couldn't pass up the offer. Mounted this on the back of my Ford Transit Connect paired with a DJI Ronin RS3 Pro and Sony FX3. The lens used was the Sony 24-105 f/4. The footage turned out smoother than I thought. The rear mount to my vehicle works great as it blocks the wind. I have yet to try it on the side door or hood mounts but am very pleased with what possibilities this Tilta car mount brings.
