Product Information

Full details

The Manfrotto 441SPK2 Spiked Foot Set is designed for photographers and videographers who need enhanced stability on challenging or uneven surfaces. Its key benefit is providing a secure grip on soft ground with retractable metal spikes, while the rubber side offers versatility on harder terrain. A potential caveat is that these feet are specific to certain Manfrotto tripod models, requiring a compatibility check before purchase.

FAQs

Are these spiked feet universal for all Manfrotto tripods?

No, these spiked feet are specifically designed for Manfrotto tripod models 441, 055MF3, 745MF3, and 755MF3, and require a 2.06 cm socket.

How do I retract the spikes?

To retract the spikes, apply downward pressure on the foot and rotate it. The spiked portion will retract into the body of the foot, revealing the rubber surface.

Can I use these feet indoors?

Yes, the rubber side provides grip indoors. However, be cautious when using the extended spikes indoors, as they can scratch delicate flooring.

What material are the spikes made from?

The spikes are constructed from a special hard anodised aluminium alloy, known for its extreme resistance to corrosion.

How many feet are included in the set?

The set includes 3 reversible rubber/metal spiked feet and a dedicated fixing tool.

What is the weight of the spiked foot set?

The total weight of the set is 220 g.

Troubleshooting

Feet do not attach securely.

Ensure you are using the correct fixing tool and that the socket on your tripod leg is clean and free of obstructions. Verify that your tripod model is compatible with the 441SPK2 feet.

Spikes are difficult to retract or extend.

Check for any dirt or debris obstructing the mechanism. Gently clean the spike area. Ensure you are applying the correct pressure and rotation as per the setup instructions.

Rubber surface shows signs of wear.

This is normal wear and tear with extensive use. For significantly degraded rubber, consider replacement feet if available.

Care:

Clean the feet regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
After use in wet or muddy conditions, wipe the spikes dry to prevent corrosion, although the anodised alloy offers significant resistance.
Store the tripod with the spikes retracted when not in use to protect them and the surfaces they might rest on.
