OK so what's the little black "duberry" that clips on and runs freely up and down one of the legs of my Manfrotto 190Pro tripod, with an alan key hole in it?

It's a removeable key, used to tighten the clamps on the legs. I have removed mine and placed it safely in a cupboard to prevent losing it

Yup I did the same, on advice from the guy in Jessops when I bought it. He said "Take it off and hide it, or you'll lose it" hehe

It's now in my camera bag.

Just out of curiosity....what happens when your out with your tripod and one of the screws comes a bit loose......would you then walk/drive all the way home.....to retrieve the allen key from the cupboard....?

PS have had my uni-lock 1700 for 10 years........and it still has the original allen key attached to it........(just in case...)

Well I, unlike these silly males here, wouldnt put it in a cupboard, it is safely stashed away at the bottom of one of my camera bag pocket lest just such an occasion arises! :D

I too wondered what that widget was. Overjoyed in finding out in this thread I rushed to check it out again and...it wasn't on the leg!!!

However a quick scramble round the boot of my car and there it was...phew!

Thanks Janice - good thread!!!

Pulling off your widget on a saturday night is not to be recommended, Paul! :eek: :nono:
