Product Information
Full details
The Manfrotto MVT535HH Hi-Hat is designed for videographers and photographers needing stable, low-angle shots. Its key benefit is exceptional compactness and quick leveling for ground-level shooting, slider support, or table tripod applications. A potential caveat is its single leg section, which limits some height adjustments compared to multi-section tripods. Key features include its sturdy aluminum construction, adjustable leg angles, and a 75-60mm half bowl for broad head compatibility.

How do I adjust the leg angles?

Troubleshooting
Tripod feels unstable
Ensure all leg locks are securely tightened and the leg angle selectors are firmly in place. Verify that the camera and head combination does not exceed the 20 kg weight capacity.
Camera head does not fit the bowl
Confirm whether your head uses a 75mm or 60mm bowl. Use the provided MVA060T adapter if your head is 60mm and the tripod is set to its 75mm configuration.
Legs do not stay at the selected angle
Check the leg angle selectors for any obstruction or damage. Ensure they are fully engaged and locked into position. Clean the mechanism if debris is suspected.
Cannot achieve desired low height
Adjust the leg angle selectors to their widest settings and ensure the single leg section is fully extended. The minimum height is 11.6cm.
