The lower section of one leg of this tripod slips under load after using the auto adjustment for leg length in the head. I have an older 3050 tripod that has two good legs on it. I want to exchange one of those for the improperly operating leg on the 3051. Does anyone know how to remove these seemingly alike legs from the head without messing up the auto extender feature?? Thanks for any assistance.
Www.bogentripodparts.com you may need a new leg lock, you have to loosen it enough and the leg should come out. Send us some pictures at [email protected] and we will probably be able to set you up with something.

Yes you can. But I saw that your Manfrotto is possible to buy for 50 Euro.
Anyway the part you need is the full leg called CODE:
R785,203B
you can see the datasheet on the spare part site of Manfrotto:

Hey there fotoflika, I have had a similiar problem in the past and found replacement parts unavailable. My solution was to drill a small hole through the leg section, and I used a similiar size allen key to stick in the hole, effectively locking the leg in place. You could drill several holes for different extension lengths. Crude I admit, but cheaper than buying a new tripod.

Sorry, the mechanism and how it is put together should be repaired my Manfrotto. It has a one yar warranty when you bought it, and if you went to the Manfrotto website and registered it then the warranty is 3 years.

If you notice, the legs locks are attached to bothe the upper part of the leg and the sloghtly smaller diameter lower. Take a socket (8mm I believe) and tighten the lower 2 nuts to the bottom of the leg lock.

My problem is the same as that posted below by portraithous on Feb 12, 2010 since the Manfrotto 058 is just a newer model of the 3051
