Tilta Hermit POV Support System
Professional First-Person Camera Rig for Immersive Cinematic POV Footage
The Tilta Hermit POV Support System is a state-of-the-art camera support solution designed to deliver cinematic, immersive first-person perspective (POV) footage with maximum flexibility, balance, and comfort. Ideal for action sports, narrative storytelling, documentary filmmaking, and VR-style shoots, the Hermit system allows operators to mount a camera directly to their body—capturing exactly what they see, from their point of view.
At the core of the system is a lightweight, scratch-resistant carbon fiber helmet, engineered for durability, comfort, and rigging versatility. Whether you’re shooting fast-paced parkour sequences, immersive dialogue scenes, or high-intensity stunt work, the Tilta Hermit provides the control, support, and balance needed for consistent, high-quality POV capture.
All-in-One First Person Rigging System
The Tilta Hermit is far more than just a helmet—it’s a modular, professional-grade POV support ecosystem built to handle the demands of advanced production environments.
Key Components:
-
Carbon Fiber Helmet: Lightweight and durable for long shoot days
-
Front & Rear Articulating Arms: Rosette-based, highly adjustable mounts
-
Camera Mounting Plates & Rod System: Supports rod-based setups and fast configuration changes
-
Battery Plate Balance Module: Gold Mount or V-Mount support for external power
-
Counterweight System: Included weights for perfect front-to-back balancing
-
Accessory Mounting Points: Cold shoe, 1/4″-20, and 3/8″-16 threads on top, front, and sides
This makes it the most customizable POV support system on the market, allowing for front- or rear-mounted camera rigs, counter-balanced power setups, and accessory integration like wireless transmitters or monitoring solutions.
Engineered for Balance and Stability
Adjustable Battery Plate & Balance Module
The Hermit features a rear-mounted battery plate that supports Gold Mount or V-Mount batteries, offering clean power delivery to your camera system while also serving as a counterweight to front-mounted cameras. The included balance module lets you fine-tune the distance between the battery and the helmet for perfect weight distribution.
Counterweights for Custom Fit
Included additional counterweights ensure that the system remains comfortable and balanced, reducing strain on the neck and shoulders—even when using heavier cinema cameras or accessories.
Pro Tip: For extended usage with heavier setups, it’s recommended to pair the Hermit with additional neck or back support systems.
Limitless Camera Mounting Options
Rosette-Based Mounting Arms
The front and rear articulating arms use rosette mounts for secure and customizable positioning. With multiple plates and extension arms, operators can precisely adjust the height, distance, and angle of the camera for optimal POV framing.
Rod-Based Camera Mounting
Included 15mm rod adapters and rods allow operators to integrate rod-based camera setups, such as DSLRs, mirrorless, or compact cinema cameras, enabling quick rigging and faster workflow transitions.
5 Unique Mounting Configurations
-
Front-center POV mount (standard)
-
Rear camera placement for over-the-shoulder views
-
Side-mount for angled perspectives
-
Top or under-slung camera orientations
