can you swap parts with another tri pod

Try www.TripodQuickRelease.com for that part. There is listed the widest selection of quick releases and support more brands than any other web site I’ve seen.

hi there, i think you can obtain the parts directly from Hakuba USA. www.hakubausa.com they're the USA distributers for Velbon and will actually repair it... if you can't by simply replacing a part. also a phone # 1-800-423-1623 and a seperate # 800-886-2236 to order quick release plates.

Try www.TripodQuickRelease.com They stock that part from time to time, and are having more made now. You can put your name on a list and they will contact you when they have more.

I just had this problem! I took it to Ace hardware and the guys helped me out, big time. I have a PH-358 panhandle and the same piece fell of during a shoot into some brush and dirt outside.

We (they) fixed it using a #6 metric bolt and butterfly wing nut along with two grommets (3/8 ID and 5/8 OD). It worked perfectly! Not only does it hold the handle together but you can tighten or loosen the handle as well using the butterfly wing nut.

I can only say google out the maker and find a phone number and talk to someone there who can help. Remember you like there product and just need a part not new ones I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/james_1cb31da1bc8c6102

I don't know, can you read the Velbon manual ..... ?

If there is one available, download it from the manufacturers web site.

Tripod heads have standard thread sizes, 1/4" or 3/8" so you will have to check size. You can get an adapter if its different. Same brand should be same thread so you should be ok to change. You just have to try it to see.

I presume this is a tripod, although you have not stated. On good quality tripods, the head attached to the centre column with a screw thread, either 1/4" or 3/8". Grasp the centre column firmly, and rotate the existing head anti-clockwise, first checking to ensure there are no grub screws restricting its movement. When you have removed it, attach the replacement.

Is a manual or instruction leaflet really necessary ? Tripods are actually amazingly simple to use. You spread the three legs (three legs - 'tri'-pod) and place them firmly on level ground. Then you attach the camera, camcorder, spotting scope or whatever to the top, and use the equipment as desired.
