Manfrotto Modo 785B Tripod Cam Lock Lever

thingiverse

I scored a Manfrotto 785B tripod from a charity shop recently for $5. I was pretty stoked about it! Unfortunately, one of the cam levers was busted, which put a damper on things. After doing some research, I found out that the cam locks are usually the first to fail in these tripods. Still, I thought I'd share my experience with you in case someone else might be able to use this info. I created a replacement model based on the third lever from the bottom. It might just work for the other sections of the tripod as well, since they all seem to lengthen as you move up from the base. The business end is probably identical across all of them.
