Promaster 6400 tripod replacement parts?

[TimVader]

I just bought a really nice tripod (compared to what I had) and one of the feet can in broken. Anyone know where I can find a replacement?

The reason many people buy Manfrotto...

Try Google. Took about 20 seconds to find the company.

I tried google, that was my first core of action, I keep finding other parts and not what I need. I ended up gluing it with E6000 so it should hold for awhile. I would like to replace it though if anyone knows where I can find the piece

Have you contacted Promaster?

Sorry but that's why Manfrotto rules: replacement parts. Off-brands are often simply not fixable.

Most camera stores (not Best Buy) are Promaster dealers. Try your local store.

You can replace your whole tripod if you purchased less than one year ago, or get a repair. Next time you may want to invest more money to get a better tripod that will last longer.

Something tells me you have never used a really good tripod. Manfrotto makes good general use tripods at a reasonable price. In fact I own two of them. But I also own a top of the line Gitzo that can make my 055XB-Pro look like twigs lashed together.

I have a Promaster XC325C carbon fiber tripod, and it is very good. My dog scratch it. I accidentally banged against the wall and on the floor several times, and it still function properly. My only complaint is I lost the hook. The company gave me another one for free.

Funny but all my cameras--and images--seem to be perfectly happy with the Manfrotto legs(aluminum+CF)and heads I own. Great if you dig Gitzo but it seems a bit of conceit if you think it makes much a difference aside from cost. YMMV, as usual.

When I was a newbie, I bough a $70 Manfrotto tripod. I though I was happy, but I kept getting worry this tripod might tips over by a strong wind. Now, I feel secure that I bough more stable tripod.
