Product Information

Full details

The Gitzo GSFSM set is for photographers needing enhanced stability for their Gitzo monopods or tripods, especially on softer terrains. Its key benefit is providing dual-terrain capability with a retractable spike and a new non-slip rubber foot. A minor caveat is that it's designed for Gitzo models with specific 3/8" threads, limiting universal compatibility. This accessory includes one tripod spike and two tripod feet, offering a versatile solution for replacing lost parts or upgrading existing equipment.

FAQs

What is included in the Gitzo GSFSM set?

The set includes one short tripod spike and two rubber tripod feet (30mm and 38mm maximum diameter).

Can I use the spike on concrete?

The spike is primarily designed for softer terrains like grass or mud. Using it on hard surfaces like concrete can cause premature wear or damage to the spike.

Will this fit my Manfrotto tripod?

This accessory is specifically designed for Gitzo products with 3/8" threads. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.

How do I switch between the rubber foot and the spike?

Grip the rubber part and pull it off the spike to expose the spike. To reattach, push the rubber cap firmly back onto the spike.

Are the rubber feet interchangeable with the spike?

Yes, the rubber foot acts as a protective cap for the spike. They are designed to be used together or separately.

What is the benefit of the new rubber material?

The new non-slip rubber material provides enhanced stability and grip, particularly on slippery surfaces.

My Gitzo tripod has different sized legs. Will these feet fit?

The set includes two rubber feet with maximum diameters of 30mm and 38mm. You should check the diameter of your tripod leg's base to ensure a proper fit.

Troubleshooting

Rubber foot is difficult to remove or reattach.

Ensure the leg threads are clean. A small amount of silicone lubricant on the spike base can help. Apply steady, firm pressure.

Spike feels loose after attachment.

Check that you are using a compatible Gitzo leg with a 3/8" thread. Ensure the rubber cap is fully seated and secure.

Rubber foot doesn't provide enough grip on slippery surfaces.

Ensure the rubber surface is clean and free from dust or moisture. Check that the rubber material is not worn out; replacement may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides superior grip on both soft and slippery surfaces.
  • Offers a cost-effective way to replace lost accessories.
  • Enhances the stability of compatible Gitzo equipment.
  • Durable construction with a new non-slip rubber compound.
  • Versatile dual-mode design (spike and rubber foot).

Cons

  • Only compatible with Gitzo products featuring 3/8" leg threads.
  • Spike is not intended for use on extremely hard surfaces which could cause damage.
  • Set includes only one spike, requiring separate purchase if multiple spikes are needed for a tripod.
  • Rubber feet sizes (30mm and 38mm) may not fit all Gitzo leg diameters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the 3/8" thread at the bottom of your Gitzo tripod or monopod leg.
  2. Unscrew the existing foot if present.
  3. Screw the Gitzo GSFSM rubber foot onto the leg until snug. The spike is integrated within the rubber foot.
  4. To use the spike, firmly grip the rubber part and pull it off the spike.
  5. To reattach, align the rubber cap over the spike and press firmly until it secures.

Compatibility:

  • This accessory is compatible with all Gitzo tripods and monopods that have a 3/8" thread on their legs.
  • It is designed for use on softer terrains (grass, mud) when the spike is exposed.
  • The rubber feet have maximum diameters of 30mm and 38mm.

Care:

  • Clean the rubber feet and spike with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the rubber.
  • Store the feet in a dry place when not in use.
