Sorry to resurrect this old thread but does anyone know where to get one of these covers in the UK?

I could only find Wex and they are out of stock (and have been for some time)

I bought one of THESE instead.

Works great

Doesn't look too out-of-place...

Loosen the friction knob, rotate it to the mount/unmount point and pull it off (towards the mount). It only comes off aligned to the precise spot to prevent it coming off accidentally.

Cheers,

Rick

I'm very late to the party but just saw this post & have read only a very few replies.

The first time I removed the tripod foot I noticed the lugs. I got a rubber band about 3/8" wide & put over them. Just move it when I need the foot. Same for my Oly 100-400.

Very simple, very light & small & cost is 0.
