“The weak link in any vacuum mount is usually the plastic pump. We removed the weak link.”
Elevate your rigging security with the Pro Series upgrade. By replacing standard injection-molded plastic with a high-precision, CNC-machined metal pump, we have engineered a mount that thrives in environments where others fail. From the freezing tundra to the scorching heat of a desert shoot, this system delivers unrivaled structural integrity for filmmakers and industrial operators who demand zero failure.
Extreme Climate Resilience
The Engineering: Plastic pumps warp and lose seal integrity under thermal stress. Our aviation-grade aluminum pump maintains dimensional stability regardless of temperature fluctuations.
The Benefit: You can mount a camera on a car hood in direct summer sunlight or in freezing snow without the vacuum failing due to heat expansion or cold brittleness.
CNC Precision Tolerance
The Engineering: Manufactured via Computer Numerical Control (CNC), guaranteeing a cylinder fit far tighter than molded plastic.
The Benefit: A tighter fit means efficient pumping. You get a stronger vacuum (-580mm Hg) with fewer strokes, and the seal lasts significantly longer before needing a top-up.
Destructive Force Resistance
The Engineering: In destructive testing, the metal pump mechanism withstood 6x the force of standard plastic competitors (limited to ~50kg).
The Benefit: It is shock-proof and practically indestructible. If you accidentally drop the mount or it takes a hit during a shoot, the pump mechanism will not crack or shatter.
User Serviceable Design
The Engineering: The modular aluminum assembly can be disassembled for cleaning and lubrication, unlike sealed plastic units.
The Benefit: Your investment lasts for years. If sand or dust gets into the pump during a desert shoot, you can take it apart, clean it, and it works like new.

A: While plastic is sufficient for indoor or light duty, it degrades under UV exposure and extreme temperatures. The CNC metal pump is essential for critical rigging involving expensive cinema cameras, moving vehicles, or environments with high heat/cold, where plastic expansion could cause a vacuum leak.
A: The metal plunger features a high-contrast red warning band. When you pump the air out, the plunger stays depressed and the line is hidden. If vacuum pressure drops (due to time or vibration), the plunger rises, exposing the red line. This gives you an immediate visual cue to re-pump the system before the seal is lost.
A: Surprisingly, no. The pump itself weighs only 65g. By using high-grade aluminum and precision machining, we have kept the unit lightweight and portable without sacrificing the heavy-duty strength required for industrial applications.
