The Manfrotto 529B is a heavy-duty aluminium Hi-Hat for stable shots close to the ground, in confined locations or on a solid working surface. Its integrated 100mm bowl provides precise levelling for a professional video head, while adjustable twin-leg angles cover a 14.5–19.5cm height range and safely support up to 20kg. Rubber-padded feet protect delicate surfaces, and a hole in each foot lets the Hi-Hat be screwed securely to a board, apple box or ladder. The optional Manfrotto 319 adapter converts the bowl for a 75mm half ball.
A solid base for professional camera rigs where a conventional tripod is simply too tall.


Twin aluminium legs and the integrated spreader keep the Hi-Hat stable on an even surface. Rubber-padded feet protect delicate floors, while a mounting hole in each foot allows the 529B to be screwed to a solid base for secure shooting in unusual positions.
Use the optional Manfrotto 319 adapter with a 75mm video head. The short 500BALLSH adapter fits flat-base heads; 520BALLSH can be used together with adapter 319.
