Arri stand spare parts

[jmdh]

Hello,

 

We recently lost a foot for one of our small Arri lighting stands (as pictured). Searching for information about Arri products and spares on the web hasn't got me anywhere ( I can't find anything resembling our stands anywhere...) and they have no visible model numbers.

 

The feet are small metal discs with a ball socket - so whilst they are good for uneven ground they very easily pop out when being transported loose (which leads me to think we should buy carry bags for them..)

 

Does anyone have any ideas for where to source spares for these (or even a hint of the model/range they''re from?

 

Thanks,

Dominic.

Are you sure they are actually Arri? They look like they might be Avenger or Impact to me, both make similar stands to your photos. Usually I see them with wheels, like in this link:

Whatever make they are, it is just a matter of finding similar feet, that match whatever the thread is on the existing feet. Might not necessarily be metric, could be imperial if they are American stands:

give Flashlight a call. They are Arri dealers and should be able to help on this.

How curious. The legs look identical to that Impact unit, though I am 90% sure they are badged as Arri. Either way they are nice little stands.

 

Good point about the generic feet - I'll investigate the next time I have access to them in a couple of weeks. I'm slightly embarrassed I didn't think of that generic type of solution...

 

Best,

Dominic.

Manfrotto (who make the avenger range of stands) also OEM for other people, Arri is one, Strand is an old one, so they may be sold in the US under the impact name.

Be careful is fitting generic bits on stands, if it fails, you could be held liable as it was not repaired to the manufacturer's standard .

These stands were sold in the UK under the Strand Lighting badge. We've obtained spare feet for them on a couple of occasions from Stage Electrics.

Hi,

 

You should contact Paul Biggerstaff at AC Entertainment Technologies, they hold a lot of lighting stand spares.

Thanks for the replies. Stage Electrics pointed me at this direct UK distributor of Manfrotto spares:

 

R3,2495. Foot For Folding Stand Base

 

Hopefully this will fit the bill!
