Where to find replacement parts for tripod?

[mtyler24]

I have a Velbon DF 60 tripod, and the top part dosn't stay up anymore. (where the camera sits, it goes back and fourth) I can't tell but I think a screw is missing. Does anyone know of a place where I can find the replacement parts? Or is it worth it to get a better tripod, this one was a gift a couple years back. Thanks!

Well, it's a $60 tripod to start with....

I'd say your S&H for parts or sending the entire thing somewhere would cost as much as a replacement. If you are interested in investing some cash in a tripod, I bought this one a few months ago and it makes such a difference. It's worth every penny

I will second this one. It is a tripod you can get years if not a lifetime of use from.
