The Tilta HDA-T18-LSK Lightweight Swappable Shock Absorber Kit is a customizable damping upgrade for the Hydra Alien Pro vehicle shock-absorbing system that lets operators quickly swap in lighter springs and dampers to perfectly match payloads up to 7 kg, delivering dramatically smoother footage on rough terrain while reducing overall system weight for faster, more agile car-mount setups.
Specifically engineered for the Tilta Hydra Alien Pro (HDA-T18 series), the HDA-T18-LSK Lightweight Swappable Shock Absorber Kit replaces the standard heavier dampers with a tuned, lighter set optimized for low-to-medium payload configurations (up to 7 kg / 15.4 lb). This allows cinematographers to fine-tune shock absorption performance based on camera package weight and driving conditions—achieving silkier stabilization on bumpy roads when running compact cinema cameras, gimbals, or lightweight rigs such as ARRI Alexa Mini + lens or RED KOMODO setups. Installation is fast and tool-assisted, making it easy to swap between the lightweight and standard kits on location for maximum versatility.
