Mount your gimbal on a car, boat, or any moving vehicle for smooth motion shots with the heavy-duty Tilta Shock-Absorbing Arm. The arm utilizes hydraulic cylinders for smooth movement and its solid, shock-absorbing, spring-tension construction is designed to carry payloads up to 55 lb at high speeds.

The arm connects to a 2" diameter rod with locking clamps, and adjustments are made via knobs at multiple points along the arm's joints to balance forward-to-back and side-to-side gimbal movement. The cradle head provides additional shock absorption and incorporates the Tilta Gravity adapter mount; adapter mounts for the Ronin 2 and the MōVI are also included. The cradle head also supports optional V-mount or Gold mount battery plates to power accessories.

Store and transport the arm and its components in the included waterproof, rolling hard-shell case with custom-cut foam.

Q: 5. what is the part number for quick adapter plate that mounts to this? or is it standard Manfrotto plate compatible? thanks

A: The Tilta Hydra Alien Shock-Absorbing Head with Soft Spring Module is actually a Manfrotto style plate but does not accommodate all Manfrotto plates. The two compatible plates Tilta offers come with the Hydra Alien car mounting system and the arca/manfrotto plate that comes with the Tilta 15mm LWS Arca Manfrotto Dual Baseplate and Tilta Lightweight Shoulder Rig. Otherwise, there are no third-party Manfrotto plate solutions that are guaranteed to fit this head.  Tilta 15mm LWS Arca-Type/Manfrotto Dual Baseplate Kit (Black) BH #TIADBPKB
