SmallRig 5398 5" Electric Suction Cup Mount – rapid 100ms motor with built-in pressure monitoring
This all-in-one suction cup mount kit is designed for vehicle shooting. It integrates automatic attachment, real-time pressure monitoring, and multiple mounting interfaces into a single system for flexible on-car setups.
Fast, reliable attachment
The suction cup uses a high-performance motor that responds in under 100 milliseconds, enabling rapid attachment to suitable surfaces. In addition, the unit continuously monitors seal integrity and automatically repressurizes when pressure falls below 75%, so it maintains adhesion without constant manual adjustment.
Battery and charging
The mount includes a built-in 2000mAh battery. It supports QC fast charging at 5V/2A via USB-C, and it reaches a full charge in about 45 minutes. Once charged, the battery can power the system for up to 30 hours of continuous operation, which is helpful for extended shooting sessions.
Durable material and temperature performance
The suction cup is made primarily from nitrile rubber. As a result, it maintains sealing performance across wide ambient temperatures. The stated operating range is between -25°C and 60°C, without deformation when used within that range.
Load capacity and vehicle guidance
The cup delivers strong adhesion for camera rigs and accessories. It supports vertical and side mounting up to 40kg, and horizontal mounting up to 60kg. For vehicle-mounted filming, the manufacturer recommends pairing the suction cup with the included safety tether and following additional precautions:
- Do not exceed 5kg payload on the safety tether during vehicle use.
- Keep vehicle speed below 80 km/h when using the mount.
- Avoid driving on bumpy roads while the mount is in use.
- Check adhesion every two hours during operation.
Mounting base and expansion options
The aluminum alloy mounting base offers multiple interfaces for accessory attachment. It includes anti-twist 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes, as well as 3/8"-16 ARRI locating holes. These interfaces allow you to mount magic arms and other accessories for versatile setups.
Protection and included items
To help maintain cleanliness and prolong service life, the kit includes a protective dust cover for the suction cup when it is not in use. The packaging contains:
- 5" Suction Cup Mount
- Safety Tether
Important usage notes
- Use only on clean, dry, flat surfaces. Avoid rough, wet, uneven, fragile, or porous surfaces.
- Operate within -25°C to 60°C ambient temperatures. For cold environments, fully charge the battery at room temperature before use to maximize battery life.
- Disclaimer: Users must verify surface compatibility and monitor adhesion status regularly (every 2 hours) during use.

FAQ
Question: Is this suction cup mount suitable for vehicle filming?
Answer: Yes. The mount is designed for vehicle shooting and combines automatic attachment with pressure monitoring. However, follow the vehicle guidance: use the included safety tether, avoid loads over 5kg during transit, keep speeds below 80 km/h, and avoid bumpy roads.
Question: How often should I check the suction cup adhesion during a shoot?
Answer: Check adhesion every two hours. The mount auto-repressurizes when pressure drops below 75%, but regular manual checks are recommended to ensure ongoing safety and stability.
Question: What are the charging and battery considerations in cold weather?
Answer: The unit supports QC fast charging via USB-C and fully charges in about 45 minutes. For cold environments, fully charge the battery at room temperature before use to help maintain battery performance and longevity.
Question: What mounting options does the base provide for accessories?
Answer: The aluminum alloy base includes anti-twist 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes plus 3/8"-16 ARRI locating holes. These allow attachment of magic arms and other accessories for flexible configurations.
