Missing rubber ring on Gitzo tripod

[Simon Rodan]

I have just bought a second hand Gitzo Studex Mk1 which is missing one of the ru bber grips on the rings that lock the legs. Can one buy replacements and if so w here? Thanks Simon

A piece of garden hose would probably do the job (the cheap stuff, not the nylon reinforced type). Heat it up to stretch it.

Thank you both for your replies. Much appreciated.

gitzo's at least in the US. have life time warranties, so they may fix it for free. If not try some gaffer's tape, it's great stuff.
