jmdh Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 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. http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/tmp/blue-room/IMG_20151218_180514.jpg http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/tmp/blue-room/IMG_20151218_180523.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xllx Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 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: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1065916-REG/impact_lsp_sfb11_folding_wheeled_base_stand.html 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:http://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/products/cabinet_furniture_and_hardware/legs_feet_and_castors/1643/series_100_adjustable_load_feet_m8_thread/606344?vat=1&shopping=true&gclid=CjwKEAiA8K20BRDetNv3p6DNhXwSJADSwa3tXblnbUOlg9KxoVoRxRUfaL4KM-HUojJg3bjz3nAVYBoC_Kjw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmdh Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Turner Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 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 .

gareth Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettVista Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi, You should contact Paul Biggerstaff at AC Entertainment Technologies, they hold a lot of lighting stand spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmdh Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
