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.
