I have a few of these that I use with my Olympus flashes:

At one of my recent weddings one of the little rubber feet came off and I didn't realize it until later. Does anyone know if there is any way to purchase a new rubber foot for one of these?

    Bogen is the name of the US distributor for Manfrotto of Italy. The reason that is significant is because if the Bogen warehouse doesn't have something, the Manfrotto warehouse usually does have it.

    Stuff coming from the Bogen warehouse can get to you in a few days to a few weeks. Stuff coming from the Italian warehouse can take literally months.

    Start with Bogen here:

    There are some third party distributors as well so if the Bogen warehouse doesn't have it you might try someone like:

    http://bogentripodparts.com/

    Like Art mentioned, you might get lucky and find a similar foot at a hardware store or the hardware section of a superstore.

    I lost a few rubber feet my Manfrotto monopod and tripod. Ziggy's links will get you to the correct place. As he mentioned, some parts can take weeks if coming from Italy. I found out the rubber feet could be ordered in packs of 3 so I ordered 2 packs. Haven't lost one since, of course. Give Bogen a call and they will get your parts.
