[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 544675, member: 15356"] This is so funny! It looks like the part I need for my Gitzo tripod, may need to be ordered through Manffroto! Lol :) The part I need is just a rubber piece designed to prevent accidental unlocking of a tripod leg. So it isn't an emergency needed part, but the little sucker would make me feel my D800e would be a bit safer.:) Both my Gitzo tripods are explorer tripods, made to work very well with macro shots and other shots requiring unusual positions. So the locking legs aren't set positions, and so the weight load they will handle is about 26 lbs max. Also with enough force, the legs can be moved even when locked. The higher load handling Gitzo tripods have set leg positions with a more rock solid leg locking design. Just some info I though those interested might find handy!:) [/QUOTE]
