Thank you so much, I’m so pleased to read that it inspired you to place an order too, that’s amazing. It’s certainly a cool bit of kit in your arsenal 🙌
Thank you so much buddy and happy to help. The articulating arm is from Tilta too, it's called the Magic Arm with 1/4"-20 Mounting Points, here's a link to it: amzn.to/3DlgD5H 👍🏻
I wouldn’t worry about battery degradation at all, I’ll be fine, but nothing to back this up. It’s worth upgrading to the one if you only have one method of attaching gear to your current SmallRig one. All I say is, the peace of mind this gives you is the one reason to upgrade in my opinion. Hope that helps 👍
Hey, quick question, do you know what happens, if you run out of battery while using it? Will it hold the current pressure and just function like a normal suction cup or will it release the pressure and fall of?
Hey Tim, we haven't had the battery run out on us yet. But, we have switched it off when mounting inside a car so that no noise was coming from it and it held for the entire time we were recording, around 20 minutes. Unlike the others, if there's no battery, you can't pump it, they should've thought about that.
This is a very good point, although, I think it would be some years before this starts happening and by then, there’ll be one out you can switch batteries out with hopefully. We placed this on the back a car to record sound only, it was very reassuring to know it wouldn’t loose suction.
@@Pulse8Reviews if its just some screws and a 18650 inside, i can easily replace that. Hopefully its not like Bose speaker where the internal lithium is glued tight inside By the way, have you guys seen the Neewer 6” electric suction mount? Ive been trying to to find review of it and nobody have done it but it sells like a ube cake and is always sold out
@@Mikhail_S_P you are darn right. Neweer only have 2.5 hrs according to specs. Thanks. You saved me. I almost tried to use the neweer to mount my insta360 on a 8 hour drive. I chosed neweer because it says it has higher suction force. I'll just use this tilta instead if it last more.
That’s very interesting, do you have any in body stabilisation on the GH6? Because we found switching off this helps on internal shots as vibrations can cause wobbling 🤦♂️
Oh, could it be the angle and the distance your camera was from the suction mount? Again, I found if the arm is too long, you will get wobble on most suction mounts and advice always have two connect and a safety attachment just in case. When we mount inside a window, we use two then. The weight of any DSLR camera on a single suction cup will have wobble. The only way to over come this is have two, or the camera as close to the mount as possible 👍
I guess you need two then, honestly I think this is the only way unless you’re mounting action cameras, we always use at least two for our FX3 cameras 👍
Great review! I love the video - it was exactly what I was looking for. Placing an order for one for myself!

thanks for your review, looking forward to a test from you, where you use it on a car :)
Thank you so much, it’ll be coming soon 👍
Great video! I might need to pick one up. Whats the articulating arm thing called you used to thread into the suction cup and mount your cam?

I’m currently using the 4” Smallrig ones. Should I upgrade for this? What about having battery degradation in the future?

@@Pulse8Reviews Ok good to know, than it will probably also hold when running out of battery. Is a good peace of mind.
Nice bro thanks!
You’re very welcome buddy 👍
All these will have a battery decay someday. I hope its easy to replace the battery inside

@@jserenityJust check spec for both and see big difference: Tilta reports up to 24 work hours, Neweer is 2.5 hour 🤔
@@Mikhail_S_P you are darn right. Neweer only have 2.5 hrs according to specs.

While it does support the weight, the pliable rubber caused wobbling that rendered the footage unusable. That’s with a GH6 and 10-25 F1.7.
That’s very interesting, do you have any in body stabilisation on the GH6? Because we found switching off this helps on internal shots as vibrations can cause wobbling 🤦♂️
@@Pulse8Reviews No, the entire camera was wobbling. My magnetic mounts were solid.

@@Pulse8Reviews No, I used a short SmallRig NATO magic arm, positioning the camera slightly beneath the suction cup.

haha those 2kg are not impressive at all. Put it against something solid and ratchet strap to it and slackline on that. that would be impressive.
That is not a bad idea at all, now to find a secure wall 🤣
