It's a removeable key, used to tighten the clamps on the legs. I have removed mine and placed it safely in a cupboard to prevent losing it

Then being a woman she will forget where she put it!

Hey I'm a male and not sure where I put mine![]()
Just out of curiosity....what happens when your out with your tripod and one of the screws comes a bit loose......would you then walk/drive all the way home.....to retrieve the allen key from the cupboard....?

PS have had my uni-lock 1700 for 10 years........and it still has the original allen key attached to it........(just in case...)
Well I, unlike these silly males here, wouldnt put it in a cupboard, it is safely stashed away at the bottom of one of my camera bag pocket lest just such an occasion arises!![]()

I believe there's a similar rumour about me floating around the internet.....
It's all lies I tell you!

I'm the only one un-embarassed enough to ask, John!

I too wondered what that widget was. Overjoyed in finding out in this thread I rushed to check it out again and...it wasn't on the leg!!!
However a quick scramble round the boot of my car and there it was...phew!
Thanks Janice - good thread!!!
