Here's an unusual Hi Hat Half Bowl Mount Tripod Adapter some may find useful, that can be mounted and locked onto a standard video tripod and allow the use of a 75mm, 60mm, or 50mm half ball Video Fluid Head. Once mounted, the Hi Hat adapter also offers both 1/4-20 and 3/8" tapped threads along each side for accessory mounting.

The adapter also looks like an easy solution for getting a half ball fluid head mounted to many of the popular Video Sliders that only accept 3/8" mounts. Or use this Hi Hat adapter to mount onto a Crane or Jib to add your favorite half ball fluid head. Another idea is to mount this adapter to a heavy flat board and have a very stable platform for your Fluid Head just 7" off the ground for uber-low video shots. The possibilities are up to your imagination. The Hi Hat Half Ball Mount Tripod Adapter can be found via eBay (click here).
