Accessory Tripod Mounting Spacers from Sunwayfoto

Sunwayfoto Tripod Mounting Spacers
As I had commented in the Sunwayfoto DYH-66i Leveling Base Review ("Mounting on a Tripod" section) there was an issue with the depth of its bottom mounting hole which would generate problems and frustration to users if their tripod mounting stud exceeded 6mm in height.

Owners of tripods with an adjustable (usually the reversible type) mounting stud would not face any problem, but there is always the case of those that their tripod stud is fixed or those that do not know or plainly do not want to adjust it.

Triopo Tripod Spare Parts & Accessories Reference

Triopo 28mm short center column components

It took me a lot of time and effort to locate a distributor / re-seller of Triopo tripods that holds a complete line of Triopo Spare Parts and Accessories.
Quite in vain, I would say, as most re-sellers may keep a limited stock of first need parts, like a spring loaded hook, in order to fulfill their guaranty obligations. On the other hand most of them are ready to exchange a faulty product with a new one, or issue a full refund; but this takes time and money sending back your equipment, not to mention the frustration involved.
