- I have a love hate relationship with the Tilta Hydra Arm for automotive cinematography. In this video I'll tell you some tips and tricks getting better stabilized footage using your tilta hydra arm. By following this guide you should get a lot longer takes with more options for you edit. From lightweight Mirrorless setups to Sony FX6's and RED Komodos, by following these tips you should be getting more stable footage.

Great “to the point” video. I’m digging these. Do you have in the works any expansion on how much better your isolator is over the upgraded Tilta soft isolator?
We’re going to do a side by side, ours just helps reduce the micro jitters for longer takes
been looking for this for so long, exactly what i needed. Thank!
Dude that setup is beautiful 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 loving the video Jay! 💪
Just trying to stay consistent my man!
Great breakdown and cover of the issues. Suffering microjitters for a while and hard to get rid of this. Some good tips here I havent tried.
Really appreciate it! There’s not much info on the arm and after so many trials with it, I felt like I had to make one!
Awesome break down
My Man!!! Appreciate you checking it out!
Sheesh thanks for the tip bro! I was going to ask you about balancing the gimbal with a zoom lens. Also i definitely need to bump my strength up to try to fix my micro jitter. Great video brotha! Appreciate you for dropping the knowledge!
Give it a shot and let me know what you think bro! Appreciate you taking the time to give it a watch!
Great tutorial
Appreciate it bro!
This is one of the best tutorials (and THE BEST on the topic of Hydra) on TH-cam! Dropping real life and useful knowledge like a bomb! Thank You! Have a question about the controller! I’m using the one from tilta… and it’s not good. Are there any better solutions to control the RS2?
My man there are we actually bought a custom controller and it’s like the big movie pro one with the joy stick. DM me on IG @im_jasonanthony and I can send you links. It’s hands down 100000x better operating 1 big joystick in the camera car. We’ve tried all types of radios
Is PF follow mode best follow mode while using Hydra alien?
I prefer PTF so you can say tilt too! Some cool shots are from the road tilting up to the car revealing the vehicle or you can do the reverse like tilt down from the trees onto the car.
Is it better to record in 60 fps to slow down footage in post get rid of road vibrations as well using stabilizer or what do you usually film in when recording car rollers?
No we NEVER slow down rollers unless it’s for an intentional shot. Automotive cinematography we want the motion blur of the movement and speed in which the cars are moving. If we went to 60 we’d lose all that. Great question bro
Ok thanks a lot for the advice man appreciate it alot.
@@chrisborger7016 Of course bro, When we film for Lamborghini, Toyota, Hyundai all our clients we're always 23.978FPS/24FPS unless we want to slow specific shots down.
@@ImJasonAnthony If you maintain 180deg shutter angle, wouldn't you achieve the same amount of motion blur? Also, I'm curious about that custom isolator. I didn't see another video on it, but I'm curious if you had a parts list and .stl files you'd be willing to share so others can build their own.
@@MoneyMunday I wish it was the case but that is incorrect at 60FPS and a 180* shutter, you are getting motion blur at 60FPS which looks VERY different being there’s more frames being captured if that makes sense. So you’re visually seeing 60 frames per second played back vs 24. With more frames per second captured you’re seeing less blur due to that exact reason, there’s more frames which result in less motion blur
Working currently on a dedicated isolator video and hope to have it done soon.
what are your iMac Specs ??
This iMac was fully spec’d out when I grabbed it at the time. It’s the m2 version with 2tb internal ssd, and the highest GPU and ram options. Would have to check when I’m back at the editing bay!
