[QUOTE="Yan Lauzon, post: 644822, member: 44173"] Thanks Hark. In my opinion, there's always parts somewhere. Sparky is not helping by going the short route as first option. The quickset husky seems to have been manufactured by a company named "Moog" somewhere down the line, but that also doesn't lead to much. I see similar Manfrotto parts online but without measurements. I wonder if Manfrotto is solid enough by comparison and if they make suitable ones. Another option, again if I find proper diameter, is other types of pressure collars. This tripod is so sturdy that with the legs collapsed in, I can put the camera at about 5' from the ground in a very stable manner. I believe it was intended for a large and heavy television camera. It would be a shame to trash it without looking for repairs. [/QUOTE]
