I have a Canon 5D3 and recently removed the tripod QR plate from it and discovered that the camera must have been moved at some time while on the tripod and the rubber patch surrounding the tripod bush has started to come away and is twisted.
Removing the rubber pad and replacing it with a new one would be very simple (there is nothing wrong with the camera) if I can get one. I contacted a company advertising spare parts (they do sell the base plate complete for just over £20, but they have given an estimate for repair of £170!!!. They have also not said whether they sell the rubber pad separately.
Anyone have any suggestions where I could get one of these? It is the ridged rubber pad in this link.
