Product Information

Full details

The Manfrotto 116SPK3 is a set of three reversible rubber/spiked feet designed for Manfrotto tripod legs with a 11.6mm diameter. They offer enhanced stability on various surfaces, especially uneven terrain, thanks to the durable, corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum spikes. A key benefit is the improved grip and reduced vibration, though the primary material is plastic, which may be less durable than metal in extreme conditions.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of using spiked feet?

Spiked feet provide enhanced stability and grip on soft or uneven surfaces like grass, dirt, or gravel, preventing your tripod from slipping or sinking.

Can I use these on indoor floors?

The rubber side is suitable for indoor use. However, the metal spikes should be avoided on delicate indoor flooring as they can cause scratches or damage.

How do I switch between rubber and spike modes?

The feet are reversible. Simply unscrew them from the tripod leg, flip them over to expose the desired surface (rubber or spike), and re-screw them onto the leg using the provided tool.

What is the material of the spike?

The spike is made from a special hard anodized aluminum alloy, known for its resistance to corrosion.

What is the weight of the set?

The set of three feet weighs 195 g.

Are these compatible with all Manfrotto tripods?

No, these feet are specifically designed for Manfrotto tripod legs with a diameter of 11.6mm (0.457 inches).

Does it come with the tool to install them?

Yes, the set includes a dedicated fixing tool for easy installation and removal.

Troubleshooting

Feet do not screw on securely.

Verify that your tripod legs are precisely 11.6mm in diameter and that you are using the correct fixing tool.

Spikes are difficult to extend or retract.

Ensure the area around the spike mechanism is clean and free of debris. Gently clean with a soft brush and a mild lubricant if necessary, ensuring no lubricant gets on the rubber surface.

Feet feel loose after installation.

Re-tighten the feet using the fixing tool. Ensure they are screwed in as far as possible without excessive force that could damage the threads.

Corrosion visible on the spikes.

While designed to resist corrosion, prolonged exposure to harsh elements may cause minor surface discoloration. Clean thoroughly and ensure the feet are dry before storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

These feet are specifically designed for Manfrotto tripod legs with an 11.6mm (0.457 inch) diameter. Always confirm your tripod leg diameter before purchasing.

Setup:

Identify the legs on your Manfrotto tripod that have the 11.6mm diameter.
Unscrew the existing feet (if any) from the bottom of the tripod legs.
Select the desired side of the reversible foot (rubber or spike).
Use the provided fixing tool to screw the new feet onto the tripod legs until securely tightened. Ensure the connection is firm to prevent accidental detachment.

Care:

Clean the feet regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
For the spiked side, ensure no mud or debris is trapped in the spike mechanism.
Store the tripod with the rubber side down or the feet removed if storing for extended periods, especially if spikes are exposed to moisture, to prevent corrosion.
Periodically check the tightness of the feet on the tripod legs.
