Looking for tripod leg spikes for Manfrotto tripod

12 years 5 months ago #164921 by Janos
I do a lot of mountain climbing and this winter have some trips to frozen lakes and more icy mountains in Canada. Does Manfrotto or anyone make replacement tripod "shoes" that have spikes in them to grip better on hill terrain or icy conditions? I of course have a Manfrotto tripod.

I was going to say, on the Manfrotto site they list a ton of options. Time to pimp out your tripod!

I never even noticed the legs on my tripod. Do these strew on and off or do these spikes just slip on over the stock ones?
