Default Help! Anybody knows where to get spare tripod shoes?

I lost the shoe (or is it the quick release plate) of my beloved tripod... (photos below)

I know it's not a professional tripod like Manfrotto or Slik but I do like it very much. I bought it from US many years ago, and it is a lovely piece of equipment.

Does anyone know if there are shops that might sell such spares? It may not be possible to get parts from the same model here (since mine came from US), and the company isn't even in existence any more, but is it possible to get something similar?

Would appreciate any help, thank you in advance!

It is the quick relaase plate.

Your best chance will be penisular area. Take your tripod to test the plate. Maybe another model plate could be used.

If all elsefailed, go to the internet and search. But be prepared to pay a higher price.

Good luck.

Default Thanks guys

Got it. Not cheap, though, since they know they are the only one who has a plate that can fit my tripod...

Mind to tell us where? So that we know where to get if we relly lose our mount plate.

Default CP is the best...

They have slik plates, other plates, ballheads, etc. Unfortuntately my tripod needs a square plate, couldn't find it there.

I got from another shop on 2nd floor of Peninsula Plaza just at the escalator at the end nearest Capitol, not a bad shop if you know your prices, but if you're in a fix, well... Although I must say that it's cheaper than buying a slik plate...
