My tripod, Bogen 3021 has been discontinued.. I'm trying to find replacement rubber feet to replace my worn out stock ones.. I can't find them at bhphoto when is search for rubber feet for 3021. I've found some other rubber feet but there was no mention of 3021.. help? Thanks.

Worst case is that you will not find rubber feet for your Manfrotto,as I could not for my Manfrotto monopod.

Home Depot, to the rescue.

Yes, they actually had the exact replacement, in a 2 pack.

I've been away from the list for a little while, so I don't know if you were able to find your spare rubber feet, but you could try contacting Bogen's parts department directly:

P: (201) 818-9500 x244
E-mail: parts@bogenimaging.com

They often still stock parts for discontinued items or will have a virtually identical part for a newer item.

Yours,

Hoi

Thanks for the reply guys..

Sam, what product from home depot did you buy?

I went into the section where they have rubber feet, for chairs, got the exact size to fit my Mafrotto monopod. It came in a two pack, so I should have a spare for a long time.

I use the monopod a lot, on all kinds of surfaces, and these rubber feet are designed for a lot of wear and tear.

I am still using my first one, and it has been over a year since it was slipped on, so, I would say a good bargain.

Hope you find what you need.

Digging through the equipment archive yesterday, and I found my wifes Bogen tripod, can't remember the model. This unit did not have rubber feet, but had the metal cleats, that screw down, through the rubber/hard plastic. The end of the tripod leg has a rubber shoe, which the screw comes out of. This "shoe" is on there to keep out any dirt/debris, when the
cleats are used.
