Tilta Hydra Alien Mini Handheld Kit - Titanium Gray | Compatible with DJI Pocket 3, and other action cams/smartphones | Hydraulic Damping | Adjustable Arm

I really love using the Osmo Pocket 3, but the Z axis bounce is not great to look at. The Tilta Hydra Alien is just what I needed! It’s very well built and makes a dramatic difference in the footage. I looked at all of the other stabilizers out there, and I purchased this one because I have always had great experiences with Tilta gear. And this one is no exception! I highly recommend it!

I decided for the handheld Tilta after a cheaper 3D printed Z-Axis stabilizer broke - actually the spring pulling on the suspension made it break away. The Tilta is very stable made from metal. Instructions are clear and it can be assembled in no time. Different angles for the grip are possible. It comes in a nice case, which has a bit of an artificial smell. Anyway the smell was almost gone after a few days. The device is easy to calibrate. Possible downside is that it’s a bit heavy to hold and for transport in handluggage but that’s a price I’m happy to pay for the stability. Well calibrated it takes out a lot of bumpy shakes while walking. Anyway Ninja walk and good holding practices still need to be applied.

I really like it. You got to get the adjustment right or it will bounce but when you have it right it works really well.

Solid hand held z axis solution for the pocket 3. I use it on all my shoots now, and will be picking up the suction cup for the occasional car shoot as well.
