Q: 1. Where can you get replacement plates for the mount? Can't find them.

Q: 2. Is there a 2" receiver hitch mount option for this to use with or instead of the suction cups?

A: Unfortunately no, the Tilta Hydra only has battery mount configuration options.

Q: 3. 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: 4. 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.
