Replacing a missing tripod foot with a cork

May 27, 2022 in journal

I recently lost another of my tripod feet. Instead of replacing with an original, expensive one, I decided to make a foot using a cork from a bottle of wine.

I had already done this with another of the legs, and it works really good! Haven't lost it in several weeks of intense use, and if I ever do, it will very easy and cheap to replace again.
