The ikan IK-RSR6 Hi-Hat Riser is an aluminum riser, designed to raise a 75mm ball tripod head approximately 6" above different mounting options. The IK-RSR6 enables mounting a tripod head with a 75mm half ball to a flat surface, allowing you to maintain the leveling capability of the half ball/bowl combination. This riser can be used as a hi-hat, mounted on compatible sliders with a 3/8"-16 mounting stud, and the three unthreaded holes enable using bolts or screws to mount the hi-hat to a variety of surfaces.

It features 4.625" of clearance between the bottom of the built-in leveling ball and the top of the base of the unit. This provides clearance for many of the longer tie-down knuckles in use with many popular 75mm video heads. This hi-hat riser features anodized aluminum construction which provides a balance between strength and weight, and it is well suited for use mounted on a board, slider, or jib.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What are the dimensions at the widest point? 4.7"?

A: Yes, this product is widest at 4.7 inches.

Q: 2. Would this work with a Benro S8? I'm concerned about the length of the Benro's stem. Also, how can this Riser be connected to a tripod?

A: Hi Thomas. Sorry for the delayed response. I use this item to attach a Miller Compass 21 Fluid Head to a very tall Manfrotto 161 Tripod (3 meters in in height). It's enabled a number of difficult shots. I am not acquainted with the Benro products (as such) but I can confirm that this item has worked well for me in the way that I have described.

Q: 3. What's the weight capacity?

A: The manufacturer does not list a weight capacity anywhere. However, the ikan IK-RSR6 will be able to support more weight than any tripod head you fix onto the riser.

Q: 4. Does this come included with a 100mm half ball leveler?

A: The item comes as shown in the photograph. The 100mm ball leveler would need to come from whatever tripod head you are using it with. It does come in a pretty cool bag as well as a set of extra screw on feet for different surfaces.

Q: 5. I have the Magnus REX VT-6000 2-Stage Video Tripod with Fluid Head. What 75mm adapter would work with that fluid head?

A: The Benro 75mm Hi-Hat will not need an adapter to use the head on the Magnus REX VT-6000 2-Stage Video Tripod's fluid head.

Q: 6. Does the Benro 100mm Hi-Hat already come with a half bowl adapter if I wanted to use it with a 75mm tripod head?

A: The Benro 100mm Hi-Hat does not include a 75mm to 100mm bowl adapter. Benro has two options for 75mm heads which are listed below. Benro 75mm Hi-Hat BH #BEHH75AV Benro BA1075 100mm to 75mm Bowl Adapter Ring BH #BEBA1075

Q: 7. When mounting to a slider, how much stability is lost by raising the head and camera 6"? Am I better off just buying a flat-base head?

A: The ikan IK-RSR6 Hi-Hat Riser (6") (B&H# IKIKRSR6) simply raises the point of connection between the slider and the camera by around six inches. First, it should be said that even when not using a hi-hat, most uses of a slider will nevertheless still use a head such as a typical tripod head that is around 2.5-3" (6.35-7.6cm) tall anyway. Yes, raising the head even higher will make the slider more top heavy. However, whether or not that is a problem will depend on many factors and will well be worth it to video shooters wanting to use a half ball to be able to take the shot at a particular angle. If the load capacity of the slider can handle the extra weight then it should still be sufficiently stable, especially when used flat.

Q: 8. Will it work it a 100mm to 75mm adapter?

A: Yes. You would be able to incorporate the following 2 Gitzo items with your Benro 100 mm Hi-hat. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/898109-REG/Gitzo_gs5321v100_Video_Adapter_100mm_Ser.html + https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/898106-REG/Gitzo_gs3321v75_Video_Adapter_75mm_Ser.html

Q: 9. Will this work straight out of the box with the Benro BV6 head? I keep seeing people mention adapters and I don't know why.

A: The Benro 75mm Hi-Hat and BV6 are both 75mm, so they are indeed compatible.

Q: 10. Hi all. I can't tell from the photos but does this come with a 3/8" stud on a platform so I can mount a ball head on it? Or will I need to buy a half ball leveling adapter to get the stud? Thank you.

A: A 3/8"-16 Low-Profile Tie-Down Adapter is defined as being included, but to properly mount any devices and achieve proper leveling, we recommend a half ball leveling adapter.
