Benro Video Hi-Hat HH100AV

Benro Video Hi-Hat HH100AV | Stable support for low-angle work

A camera placed close to the ground or on an awkward surface can be difficult to keep steady. The Benro Video Hi-Hat HH100AV is a compact tripod with a maximum load rating of 100 kg, made for low viewpoints and demanding setups. Its aluminum legs and magnesium spider and bowl form a sturdy platform for video equipment, macro work and still photography. The short footprint is useful where a conventional tripod is too tall or simply won’t fit: set it on a stair, a shelf or close to the ground, or attach it to a wall or plank. Each leg can be positioned independently, so the support can adapt to uneven ground and confined spaces. That makes it a useful option for steady video from a low angle, close-up photography near the ground, and landscapes, long exposures or night and astro photography where a stable camera position matters. The HH100AV is also easy to carry between setups: it weighs 1.6 kg and folds to 23 cm. It’s a specialist support rather than a full-height tripod, but that compact format is exactly what makes unusual camera positions possible.

Height, load and handling

• Independent leg positions: Each of the three legs has three selectable angles. Set them separately to place the tripod on uneven surfaces or work around nearby obstacles.
• Two-section legs: The legs extend using large twist locks. Their short, compact arrangement is suited to setups where space around the camera is limited.
• Adjustable feet: The large feet pivot to sit at different angles. That helps the support make contact across varied surfaces instead of relying on a single flat placement.
• Rubber feet and spikes: Use the rubber feet on firm surfaces, or fit the supplied metal spikes for softer ground. Each rubber foot has a hole for attaching the tripod to a support such as a ladder or apple box.
• Accessory sockets: Three 3/8-inch threaded holes are positioned around the spider for attaching accessories. Supplied adapters reduce these to 1/4-inch threads.
• 100 mm bowl: The bowl provides the platform for a video setup, while the included low-profile knob is part of the supplied kit.

Height and load

The HH100AV adjusts from a minimum height of 7.5 cm to a maximum of 28 cm, so its working range stays close to the ground. It folds down to 23 cm for transport. The stated maximum load is 100 kg, and the tripod itself weighs 1.6 kg. Those figures make its role clear: compact, low support for a substantial setup, rather than a tall general-purpose tripod.
