Manfrotto Cold Shoe Tilt Head

The Manfrotto MLH1HS-2 Cold Shoe Tilt Head is a 200 g aluminum tilt bracket with a cold shoe, umbrella socket, and 5/8" baby receiver—featuring a smart counterbalance ring and locking knob to securely angle flashes or small LEDs up to 2 kg on any light stand.

The Manfrotto MLH1HS-2 Snap Tilthead delivers precise off-axis lighting in a 12.5 cm, 200 g package. The cold shoe accepts standard flash feet or LED panels, while an integrated umbrella channel (8 mm) holds reflectors or shoot-throughs. A patented balancing ring counteracts forward tilt under load, and the oversized locking knob freezes the angle from -90° to +90° with zero creep. The 5/8" female socket locks onto any baby stand or grip head, making it perfect for hair lights, rim lights, or product tabletops. Black anodized aluminum ensures durability and glare-free studio work.
