Tilta HDA-ESC-6 Hydra Electronic Suction Cup ( 6 " ) 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. 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, 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 30 kg.
NOTICE:
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.It is not recommended to use these suction cups with wrapped vehicles.
