Manfrotto 529B hi-hat

[picture of hi-hat]

Used for very low angle (close to the ground) filming, or for mounting cameras on table-tops.  A pan/tilt head is fitted into the bowl (substituting these tiny legs for the normal tripod legs).  The legs have individually adjustable angles, with a releaseable catch stopping the legs from splaying wider than the illustrated position.  The legs have feet with a hole running through them for bolting the hi-hat to something (a board, a table, et cetera), and the feet rotate (the red portion) so the legs can be spread at any angle.  The feet have rubber pads, so the hi-hat can be used in a stand-alone mode, but it will probably need to be bolted down, so the camera doesn't topple over (the head, and the camera, sit above these legs with a high centre of gravity).

Features/specifications

Currently, bolted to a board.  Easily unbolted with a screwdriver and a small spanner.
