Product Information

Full details

This Gitzo Spike + Rubber Foot set is for photographers needing enhanced tripod stability on varied terrain, particularly soft ground like grass or mud. The key benefit is its dual-functionality, offering both a secure spike for soft surfaces and a stable rubber foot for slippery floors. A minor caveat is its specific thread size compatibility. This product includes three 30mm feet, each featuring a short stainless steel spike with a removable rubber cap, designed to fit Gitzo tripods with 3/8" threads.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these feet compatible with tripods from other brands?

These feet are specifically designed for Gitzo tripods with 3/8" thread attachments. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and depends on their leg thread size.

How do I switch between the spike and rubber foot?

The rubber foot acts as a cap for the spike. To use the spike, simply pull the rubber cap off. To use the rubber foot, push the cap back onto the spike until it is securely in place.

What is the diameter of the rubber foot?

The rubber foot has a diameter of 30mm.

Can I use the spikes on hard surfaces like concrete?

While the spikes are designed for soft terrain, the rubber feet provide excellent grip on hard surfaces. It is recommended to use the rubber foot configuration on hard, slippery floors.

Are replacement rubber caps available if I lose one?

Replacement parts availability can vary. Please check with Gitzo or an authorized Gitzo dealer for specific information on replacement rubber caps.

How durable are the stainless steel spikes?

The spikes are made from high-quality stainless steel, designed to be resistant to corrosion and wear, providing a durable anchoring point in various outdoor conditions.

Troubleshooting

Feet do not screw on properly

Verify that your Gitzo tripod has 3/8" thread attachments. Ensure you are not cross-threading the feet; screw them in gently and straight.

Rubber cap is difficult to remove or attach

Ensure the spike and the inside of the rubber cap are clean and free of debris. A small amount of water can sometimes help with lubrication for removal or attachment.

Spike is not gripping soft terrain effectively

Ensure the spike is fully extended (rubber cap removed) and that the terrain is not excessively soft or loose. For very unstable ground, consider using specialized ground spikes if available for your tripod model.
