Tilta Hydra Alien Car Mounting System – Pro Kit
The Ultimate Car-Mounted Gimbal Rig for Cinematic Vehicle-Based Filmmaking
The Tilta Hydra Alien Car Mounting System Pro Kit is a professional-grade, high-performance camera rigging system designed to securely mount your gimbal setup to virtually any vehicle surface. Engineered for demanding filmmakers, action cinematographers, and commercial production teams, the Hydra Alien Pro Kit delivers a full-featured solution for dynamic, stable, and customizable vehicle-mounted shots using compact gimbals like the DJI RS 2.
This Pro Kit includes the base Hydra Alien Mounting System, a Remote Control Kit for DJI RS2, the Hydra Alien Monitor Bracket, and several new upgrades like a Hydraulic Dampening Pole for smoother tracking shots, a shock-absorbing arm with cradle, and a hard shell waterproof case for safe transport.
Whether you’re shooting high-speed tracking shots, low-angle roadside captures, or car commercials with complex rigging setups, the Hydra Alien Pro Kit gives you the versatility, stability, and control needed to turn your moving shots into cinematic masterpieces.
Professional-Grade Vehicle Rigging
The Hydra Alien System is designed from the ground up for cinematic car rigging using lightweight gimbal systems like the DJI RS 2. The system uses a combination of:
-
High-strength suction cups (rated up to 50kg each)
-
Dovetail-style plates and rods for endless configuration possibilities
-
Shock-absorbing silicone pads and an adjustable cradle arm
-
Hydraulic dampening to eliminate high-frequency vibrations on rough roads
This means you can confidently mount your camera setup to nearly any part of a car — hood, roof, side panels, trunk, even windows — with total flexibility in orientation and shot angle.
Optimized for RS2 with Full Gimbal Control
One of the defining features of this Pro Kit is its integrated Remote Control System for DJI RS2, offering:
-
Full wireless or wired gimbal control
-
Real-time joystick input for pan/tilt movement
-
Start/stop control for camera recording and stills
-
Easy switching between gimbal modes and functions
This allows DPs and camera operators to remotely operate the RS2 while the vehicle is in motion — without needing to physically touch the mounted system. Ideal for car-to-car shooting, chase scenes, or run-and-gun situations.
Note: The included remote control handle is only compatible with the DJI RS2 gimbal.
Hydraulic Dampening for Real-World Conditions
Driving over uneven surfaces, cobblestones, or road imperfections is often unavoidable — and that’s where the Hydraulic Dampening Pole shines. This shock absorption system works in tandem with the spring-loaded cradle head and suction cups to neutralize unwanted vibrations and shocks.
The result? Steady, fluid, and cinematic footage, even at high speeds or over rough terrain.
Easy Monitoring with Hydra Monitor Bracket
Stay in control of your shot with the included monitor bracket, designed to give operators a clean and secure mounting point for video monitors. When combined with the remote control handle, the monitor bracket lets you frame and control your gimbal shots wirelessly, giving you complete creative freedom while in motion.
Portable, Secure, and Travel-Ready
All components of the Hydra Alien Pro Kit pack neatly into the included hard shell case, designed for professional transport and location work. This case is waterproof, dustproof, and impact-resistant, making it ideal for transporting your rig between sets — rain or shine.
Compatible with More Than Just RS2
While optimized for DJI RS 2, the Hydra Alien is compatible with most gimbals that:
-
Can mount via 1/4″-20 screws
-
Can be powered via P-Tap connections (e.g., V-Mount/Gold Mount batteries)
This makes it a future-proof investment for gimbal users who may switch platforms or expand their rig.
