Manfrotto 160SP1 Rubber and Steel Spiked Foot

The Manfrotto 160SP1 Rubber and Steel Spiked Foot is a small but purposeful tripod accessory built for photographers who work across varied terrain. Its reversible design means one end provides a flat rubber pad for use on hard, smooth surfaces like studio floors or pavement, while the opposite end reveals a metal spike that digs into soft ground, grass, or gravel for a secure hold. Swapping between the two is as simple as unscrewing and flipping the foot, making it a practical solution when conditions change mid-shoot.

Constructed from rubber and hard anodised aluminium alloy, the 160SP1 is built to withstand outdoor conditions without corroding or degrading quickly. It is purpose-built for the Manfrotto 694CX tripod, so compatibility should be verified before purchase. Because it is sold as a single unit, photographers looking to replace all three feet on their tripod will need to buy accordingly. For anyone regularly shooting outdoors on unpredictable ground, this foot provides a straightforward upgrade over standard rubber-only feet.
