Tilta Hydra Arm Mini Modification Kit for DJI Ronin 2

The Tilta HDA-T08-MK-R2 Hydra Arm Mini Modification Kit upgrades the standard Tilta Hydra Arm Mini specifically for DJI Ronin 2 users, boosting maximum payload from ~17 lb to an impressive 17.6–28.7 lb (8–13 kg) while dramatically reducing high-frequency road vibrations through a steel-wire shock absorber head, heavy-duty spring, dedicated Ronin 2 quick-release mount and dual support cables – all in a 2-section arm configuration for the smoothest, heaviest-duty car-to-car and vehicle-mounted gimbal shots.

The Tilta HDA-T08-MK-R2 kit replaces the stock polyurethane dampers with steel-wire shock absorbers that excel at killing harsh vibrations from rough roads and high-speed driving. A stiffer heavy-duty spring raises the safe working load to 28.7 lb, while the included quick-release Ronin 2 adapter plate allows direct, tool-free gimbal mounting without extra dovetails. Two 2-meter stainless-steel support cables add redundancy and further stabilize the system. Note: this modification limits the arm to two sections only (no third extension) to maintain safety margins at the higher payload.

Key features

Shock-absorbing spring

The original spring on the Hydra Mini Arm has a limited payload capacity. The modification kit includes an upgraded spring for the shock-absorbing arm, raising the payload capacity to 8–13 kg.

Shock-absorbing head

Because of demand for stronger shock absorption when mounting the Ronin 2, we replaced the original polyurethane head material with steel wire. This eliminates high-frequency vibrations and keeps gimbal performance stable.

Mount adapter for the DJI Ronin 2

To integrate the Ronin 2 with our system easily, we designed a dedicated mount adapter for it.

Support cables

Shorter support cables allow a two-arm setup, which improves flexibility when filming in tight environments.
