    I have a manfrotto tripod and i've noticed that the clip piece that screws onto the camera is missing. I'm wondering is it possible to get a replacement clip and if so where?

    Really need to get one asap as I'm going on hols in a month.

    Regards.

    DML in Parkwest are official distributor, give them a shout to learn whether they have it. Have the head type ready.

    i think most of those parts are the same regardless of the head. I got a few in Gunnes a while ago to save the hassle of changing them from camera to camera. €12 each.

    The model number of the head will be written on the head.

    I've two different Manfrotto heads and each has a different quick release plate, so knowing the head model number will be needed to get a replacement plate.

    Alternatively post a picture (or bring the head to a supplier) and we'll try to identify it for you.

    Is it the whole plate or just part of it that is missing? There are several different types of plates such as the hexagonal one which fits several of the heavier heads or there are a few different rectangular and square types. If you need the screw only then they are all standard. You should be able to pick up the whole plate easily enough and Bermingham Cameras usually have a supply of different ones off the shelf. Give them a ring at 01 6772205. If you have no luck you I could give you a loan of one (Hexagonal) until your replacement turns up.
    PM me if you are stuck.
