3 Legged Thing stainless steel spikes Stilettoz (set of 3)

3 Legged Thing stainless steel spikes Stilettoz (set of 3), precise grip for your tripod

Sometimes a regular rubber foot just isn’t enough. When you’re out with your tripod on wet grass, soft forest floor or frozen ground, you need something with more bite. That’s exactly where the 3 Legged Thing stainless steel spikes Stilettoz come into play, a set of 3 sturdy stainless steel tripod feet, developed in Stagsden, UK, and made for situations where your tripod really has to stay put.

The Stilettoz virtually drill into the ground, providing an impressively steady, reliable stand. You’ll notice it immediately when working with longer exposure times, telephoto focal lengths or in windy conditions. Instead of wobbling, your setup simply remains calmly stable.

Robust stainless steel feet for a secure stand on demanding terrain

The tripod feet are made entirely of high-quality stainless steel. For you, this means: very durable, low-corrosion and suitable for everyday use, even when conditions outside get a bit rough. Rain, damp grass, cold ground – the Stilettoz handle it all with ease.

Thanks to their tapered shape, the spikes anchor themselves reliably in specific surfaces such as grass, soil, gravel or firm sand. Instead of your tripod slowly sinking in or slipping sideways, it stays exactly where you placed it. Especially practical for landscape photography, macro shots in the garden or outdoor shoots where you don’t want to keep readjusting.

1/4 inch stainless steel external thread, compatible with many tripods

Each tripod foot is equipped with a 1/4 inch stainless steel external thread. This standard thread fits many tripods and monopods that have the corresponding threaded sockets at the ends of the legs. Simply screw the spikes in place of the existing feet and you’re ready to go.

The external thread is precisely machined, runs smoothly and still sits firmly. This allows you to mount or remove the Stilettoz quickly without feeling like anything is cross-threading. Especially when you’re on the go and need to move fast, this is very convenient.

3/8 inch thread adapter for even more flexibility

The scope of delivery also includes a 3/8 inch thread adapter. This lets you use the stainless steel spikes on tripods that have a 3/8 inch connection. So you don’t have to spend time wondering whether the spikes will fit your setup – you can simply adapt them to your existing gear.

This combination of a 1/4 inch external thread and 3/8 inch adapter makes the 3 Legged Thing Stilettoz set a flexible solution for photographers and filmmakers who use different tripods and don’t want to buy dedicated special feet for every system.

Wide O-ring rubber seals and grippy knurling

Between the tripod leg and the spike sit wide O-ring rubber seals. They ensure a tight, clean finish and help keep moisture and dirt away from the thread. At the same time, they provide slight damping, which reduces vibrations to some extent and improves the contact with the tripod leg.

In addition, the stainless steel spikes feature pronounced grip knurling in the finger contact area. This allows you to grip and tighten them easily even with cold hands, thin gloves or slightly damp fingers. No slipping, no fiddling – you simply screw them on until everything sits firmly in place.

Compact dimensions: 20 x 88 mm, handy and easy to transport

Each tripod foot has a diameter of about 20 mm and a height of around 88 mm. This makes them large enough to deliver a noticeable gain in stability, yet compact enough to store easily in your camera backpack, a side pocket or a tripod quiver.

The length ensures that the spikes can dig well into softer surfaces without your tripod sinking too deeply. At the same time, you still have enough leeway to adjust the height of your setup in a meaningful way. It’s a well-balanced compromise between stability, handling and portability.

Weight: 66 g per tripod foot, solid but not excessively heavy

Each individual stainless steel foot weighs about 66 g. That feels reassuringly robust, yet is still very manageable for an outdoor setup. As a set of 3, you end up with a total weight that you’ll notice in your backpack, but that doesn’t feel uncomfortably heavy.

For many users, this exact mix is appealing: you get the feeling of massive stability without having to lug around the weight of half a toolbox. Especially when you’re already carrying a camera, lenses and a tripod, this is a quite relevant point.

Stainless steel material and silver color, durable and timeless

The Stilettoz are made entirely of stainless steel in a silver finish. The material is known for its high strength and resistance to the elements. Particularly in outdoor environments, where moisture, temperature fluctuations and dirt are part of everyday life, this really pays off.

The silver look is functional, modern and matches many tripod designs. It blends unobtrusively into your setup without being visually distracting, while still giving a very high-quality impression. You can tell from the spikes that they’re not just meant for occasional use, but for long-term, regular operation.

Areas of use: from grass to gravel, whenever your tripod simply has to stay put

The 3 Legged Thing stainless steel spikes Stilettoz show their strengths wherever normal rubber feet reach their limits. On lawns at events, on forest paths, by riverbanks, in the garden or on slightly uneven natural ground, they give your tripod a significantly firmer stand.

Whether you’re doing long exposures of streams, macro photography in the morning dew, wildlife shots with a telephoto lens or simply need a stable setup for outdoor video recording, the spikes help you reduce camera shake and position your gear securely. And yes, sometimes it’s just reassuring to know that your expensive equipment won’t start swaying at the first gust of wind.
