Tripod Cam-Lock Repair
Description
The Cam-Locks On The Manfrotto Tripod Model 728B Are Prone To Cracking Due To A Thin Wall Thickness. The Body Of The Cam-Lock Sees A Tremendous Amount Of Stress Which Over Time Leads To A Catastrophic Failure (Hopefully Not When You Have A $2000 Dslr Mounted On It). In My Opinion, A High-End Tripod Shouldn'T Have A $0.25 Molded Part That Is Prone To Cracking And Costs $15Ea To Replace. The Model I Generated Has A Wall Thickness Of Almost 4Mm At Its Thinnest Compared To The Factory'S 2Mm. I Haven'T Put It Through Temperature Cycling And Aging, But I Am Confident It Will Hold Up Better Than The Original.
