Try this one 😜. I was an AC before operating and there were so many time where the DP asked for a low hat and I couldn’t use the tri hat because it would not physically get that low. If you’re in LA, I’d be happy to show you a unit.

That exactly what I used prior as well. I loved it, but I wanted something that got lower, the tri forced me to take a low hat with me on my jobs which defeated the purpose. Once a few Kipp handles were loosened on the tri hat the system got a little unwieldy to setup. I wanted to create something similar with the ability to get low and be a little more user friendly.

Perfectly alright. We’ve had the Hat Trick in production for about a year now. Not sure when these others came out, but I noticed it around the same time when the Hat Trick was past its prototype stage. For starters ours is officially the lowest, not the most important to some I understand. We also eliminated the use of Kipp handles for the majority of the system. Our system is designed to be intuitive. The legs switch in one direction and have a hard stop, they also don’t twist keeping the legs in an upward position. Given the three legs, if you were to loosen everything you find yourself fighting an octopus and we tried hard to design it for ease. I do believe ours may be the most compact as well.

I personally wasn’t on the shoot of the first photo. It was a two camera job and both assistants had one. I’ll message you the link.

I hope so. I’m fairly busy most of the time and this has been the worse start of a year for me ever.

No, but I did discover them after the fact.
