Super rigid and fast setup

Must say the Hydra articulating car mounting system exceeded my expectations. I've used several different systems over the years, and this is the strongest, most reliable ever. Works great on top of the car hood etc. with cameras such as FX6, Freefly Ember, and FX3. I also tried to use it as a side rig, so that camera would be hanging on the side of the car, but for that use the ball head was a tiny bit too heavy, causing vibrations – but as this uses standard NATO rails, I was able to attach rails and the suction arms straight to my camera cage. I think this is also more about the fact that new cars are made of aluminium foil instead of thicker materials. :) All the components are strong and stay in place really well.

Heavy rig on suction cups

Always sceptical about hanging something heavy and expensive frum suction cups and especially from uneven surfaces on a car driving on bumpy roads 😅 But this mount hang on there like it was an original part of the car. Materials are sturdy and it feels like a well thought out product.
