Comments about Manfrotto 529 Hi Hat with 100 mm half bowl- Supports up to 44 lb (20kg):
We use this for a range of cameras from the FS100 to the RED one and Varicam. Very tough, versatile and it looks great. The leg clips are the only weak spot and have been on most manfrotto legs for years. Excellent value.

Comments about Manfrotto 529 Hi Hat with 100 mm half bowl- Supports up to 44 lb (20kg):
I purchased this Hi Hat for a portable alternative to carrying around a large tripod when traveling. Size wise it's fantastic. It folds up nicely, it's sturdy, and it works well. However, the little thing is super heavy for it's size. This little guy with head is like 11 pounds! It weights the same as my 10ft carbon fibre sticks! Wow! Otherwise I like it and I would recommend it.

Comments about Manfrotto 529 Hi Hat with 100 mm half bowl- Supports up to 44 lb (20kg):
Helpful product. I've had a chance to use it once in the field and it's helped secure some gorgeous shots. It's a gorgeous little piece and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone interested in some low angle shots. Much better than trying to make do without it. Nice steady image, and it's small and light weight - easily fits into tiny areas where sticks might not work.

Comments about Manfrotto 529 Hi Hat with 100 mm half bowl- Supports up to 44 lb (20kg):
Essential for low angle shooting, this hi-hat is top-quality built and designed, and pairs with many other accessories and all your 100mm bowl fluid heads. The holes at the end of the legs are in fact really useful for a stable connection onto light dollies or skaters like the omni-tracker.
