Can anyone recommend a good source for Seco tripod parts? One of my observers managed to bend the antenna lock screw on his fixed-height tripod yesterday. I was able to straighten it, but I realized that it would be a good idea to have a spare handy, because without it the antenna is subject to wobbling and spinning. I'm looking for Seco part number 2070-003 ("screw, lock, tribrach") that's part of tripod number 5115-00-XXX.
I have called seco with the part number in the past, since my dealer wanted a minimum dollar amount to order from seco and they gave me the parts free, shipping included.
Just ordered thumb-release bipod parts yesterday. Good people, in Florida though.
