The Ronford-Baker Tri-Hat (MOY) is a versatile, low-profile camera support designed for achieving stable, ground-level camera positions or for mounting on various surfaces. Featuring a MOY fitting, it provides a robust base for heavy fluid heads and cameras. Its three adjustable legs allow for precise levelling on uneven surfaces, while its design makes it suitable for use on dollies, sliders, tabletops, or directly on the ground, offering flexible camera placement in diverse shooting environments.

Adaptable Placement
The Tri-Hat’s adjustable legs make it more versatile than a fixed hi-hat. Use it on slightly uneven terrain, stairs, or secure it to a cart or vehicle for unique low-angle perspectives.
MOY Compatibility
Ensure your fluid head has a MOY base for a secure and stable connection. The MOY fitting is designed for heavy-duty support.
Precision Levelling
Utilise the adjustable legs to meticulously level your camera on any surface. Combine with a bubble level on your fluid head for perfect horizontal alignment.
Safety on Uneven Ground
When placing on very uneven ground, ensure each leg is firmly planted and won’t slip. Consider using small sandbags at the base of each leg for added stability.
Creative Applications
Think beyond simple ground shots. Mount the Tri-Hat to a custom platform, a counter, or even directly to a dolly for extremely low-angle tracking shots where a traditional tripod would be too cumbersome.
