Leg removal end caps

[guitarpreston]

I kinda wanna do this with my silk. I always glass sitting anyways and I’m short. Tempted to pull the 2 lower legs and worst case heat shrink or electrical tape the threads.

@Bbrinks may have a new side business if they work well and are light!

I got a smoking deal on this one and it turned out to be the tall version….fully extended gets the arca clamp at or above head height…talk about dead weight to carry lol

Yeah and good thing is I have a couple tripods with both the M32 and M30 threads on the twist locks so I can test the fit. Since they’ll be printed, any preference on the bottom grips? Pretty easy to design any pattern on there. I have 85A and 95A TPU to see what works best. The 85A works perfect for the recoil pad I made but for a tripod foot 95A might be a little better to stay put on the threads

Honestly I’ll let you drive that bus. Idk anything about 3d printing. I reckon some sort of little nubs, or a random pattern of deer tracks could be neat but may not be all that possible.
Or a threaded center hole to run the metal rock feet but again could be giving back the weight savings and negate the whole project since those are like 1.6 oz each anyway.
