Manfrotto tripod

by

Dear Birders, I have a Manfrotto 190 tracker tripod (distinctive by being green in colour). I broke a LOWER leg clamp on the tripod and Manfrotto no longer supply parts. I would be interested in buying a second hand tripod of this model whether in good order or not so that I could use the clamp off it to repair mine. regards Peter Marsh _______________________ Peter Crispin Marsh 82 Louisa Road Birchgrove NSW 2041 +61 2 9810 4264 0414 810 426 crispin_marsh@scp.com.au ===============================

  1. Maybe you should put some Loctite on the thread.

  2. Hi Peter,

    I had similar troubles a few months ago, breaking the angle adjustment ratchet on a Manfrotto 055xprob. A similar tripod. I couldn’t wait as I was travelling, so I glued the joint solid with epoxy.

    However, if you can wait, you can get spare parts for Manfrotto tripods. See this PDF:

    If you Google the part number you need (e.g. “R055,399”), you will find many people selling it. Here are some examples for R055,399:

    The first is in Australia, and probably the cheapest shipping wise.

    Hope this helps.
