Tripod Help

Post by Gougoodthing »

Hey dudes

I inherited a Vivitar tripod which is very good, sturdy, solid etc

EXCEPT maybe from overuse a couple of the arms are a bit "slippy" and it will slowly slide down if you put any weight on it. So it's basically useless :)

Do any of you mechanical geniouses have any suggestions as to what i could do to make the legs not retract when i dont want them too?

I fooled around with tin foil (like the glad wrap stuff) sliding that in the slot but that didnt work


at a worst case scenario i guess i could stick some electrical tape around the legs when extended
