Tripod hook thingy

[Yardbent]

just bought a RED SNAPPER fro @nandbytes ..........100%

it has a small sprung loaded retractable hook on the centre column (for adding 15kg sandbags to offset the Scottish winds)

Good idea...for my Slik .

looked at a well known site and found this from China ......ordered £ 3.70....and will report.


has a nut so could be adapted to your column cap

Ive got one of these on my cheap £50 carbon tripod. Only problem is that you have to remove it completely if you want to invert the centre column for ground level shots, or to fold the tripod up correctly for it to fit in its original carry bag.

my Slik centre column is in 2 parts - so bottom half can be unscrewed.........

what gets my goat about Amazon is they list almost everything - than flag as ''Not Available''

I got one of these for my Gitzo. Solid metal, much more study than spring loaded IMO.
