The iFootage Spider Crab Vehicle Suction Cup is designed for stable camera and accessory mounting on vehicles, glass, and other smooth or convex surfaces. Built for professional production environments, it creates a strong airtight vacuum seal capable of supporting substantial payloads while maintaining reliable positioning during shoots.
Available in VS-146 and VS-118 configurations, the Spider Crab system supports cameras, mounting arms, support rods, and bowl mounts for automotive filming, rigging, and creative mounting applications.
With compatibility for both 3/8" and 1/4" threads, it integrates easily into existing camera support setups without requiring additional adapters.
The Spider Crab Vehicle Suction Cup uses a vacuum-sealed mounting system to create a strong and stable attachment point on smooth surfaces such as vehicle panels or glass.
Once secured, it can be used as a mounting base for cameras, magic arms, support rods, or bowl mounts. The integrated thread conversion system allows fast switching between 3/8" and 1/4" mounting standards, making it easy to integrate with a wide range of support equipment.
For extended use, the vacuum seal can remain active for up to 12 hours on suitable surfaces, though regular checks every four hours are recommended.
Unlike basic suction mounts designed for lightweight accessories, the Spider Crab system is built to support heavier professional equipment with improved stability and flexibility.
Its high payload capacity makes it suitable for more demanding production setups, while the ability to mount to convex surfaces increases placement options during shoots. The long-lasting vacuum seal also helps reduce interruptions when filming over extended periods.
It is designed for smooth or convex surfaces that can maintain an airtight vacuum seal, including glass and vehicle body panels.
The vacuum seal can last for up to 12 hours on suitable surfaces such as glass. Seal checks are recommended every four hours.
The mount supports both 3/8" and 1/4" threads using the included converter screw.
