3 Legged Thing stainless steel tripod feet CLAWZ (set of 3)

3 Legged Thing CLAWZ stainless steel tripod feet, for when you want your tripod to simply stay put

Do you know that feeling when your tripod starts to develop a life of its own in snow, sand, or on smooth rocks and slowly drifts away? That’s exactly where the 3 Legged Thing CLAWZ stainless steel tripod feet come in. This set of three replaces the standard feet of your tripod and turns it into a truly solid anchor that remains impressively steady even on challenging surfaces.

The CLAWZ are intended as replacements or additional accessories for tripods with 1/4 inch UNC or 3/8 inch UNC threads. So you can use them on many common tripods without any special tinkering. Thanks to the use of high-quality stainless steel, the tripod feet are particularly robust and durable; they feel premium and don’t come across like some wobbly plastic add-on that gives up after two outings.

Stable bear-paw shape for snow, sand, and soft ground

What stands out most is the larger bear-paw shape of the CLAWZ. This shape provides a significantly larger contact surface and thus more stability on soft ground such as snow or sand. While standard rubber feet tend to sink in or slip away, the CLAWZ virtually claw into the surface and distribute the weight of your setup more effectively.

You could say it almost feels like putting snowshoes on your tripod. It stands more relaxed, even when you’re out with a heavy telephoto lens or video rig. Using these bear-paw feet very tangibly results in more stability and steadiness on such surfaces, without you having to constantly readjust.

Serrated edge for ice, rock, and slippery surfaces

In addition to the wide bear-paw shape, the 3 Legged Thing CLAWZ feature a serrated edge. This jagged outer area is not just a design gimmick; it has a very practical function. The serrated edge of the tripod feet provides stability on hard, slippery surfaces such as ice and rock, where smooth rubber feet often reach their limits.

You’ll especially notice the difference during winter shoots, in mountainous regions, or on rocky coastlines. The teeth of the CLAWZ grip better into small irregularities and ensure that your tripod doesn’t shift unnoticed. It almost seems as if the feet hook themselves into the ground without unnecessarily damaging it.

Easy mounting with 1/4 inch stainless steel male thread

Mounting the 3 Legged Thing CLAWZ is straightforward via the integrated 1/4 inch stainless steel male thread. You simply screw the feet onto the threaded ends of your tripod legs and you’re basically ready to go. No special tools needed, no fiddling, no complicated system.

If your tripod uses 3/8 inch connections, you don’t need to worry. You can alternatively use the included 3/8 inch thread adapter. This way, with one set you cover both 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch threads and can use the CLAWZ flexibly on different tripods without having to buy new accessories each time.

Secure hold thanks to wide rubber O-ring

One detail that’s easy to overlook, yet extremely practical in everyday use, is the wide rubber O-ring on each tripod foot. This O-ring is designed to prevent the tripod feet from loosening unintentionally. Especially if you’re outdoors a lot, frequently extending and retracting the legs, or transporting the tripod often, this is a real plus.

The rubber O-ring acts like a kind of safety lock that keeps the feet in position and makes accidental unscrewing much more difficult. This way you don’t have to constantly check whether all three feet are still tight. It’s a familiar situation: you’re in the shooting flow and easily overlook such things. With the CLAWZ, that happens far less often.

High-quality stainless steel for robustness and durability

The 3 Legged Thing CLAWZ are made from high-quality stainless steel. This material ensures that the tripod feet are particularly robust and retain their shape and function even under intensive use. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion, which is especially important when you work in humid environments, by the sea, or in winter.

Thanks to the material, the feet not only feel solid, they truly are. They withstand impacts, dirt, moisture, and temperature fluctuations significantly better than many lighter plastic solutions. At the same time, the weight per tripod foot remains pleasantly low, so your setup doesn’t become unnecessarily heavy.

Compact dimensions and low weight for on the go

With dimensions of 32 x 30 millimetres, i.e. 32 millimetres in diameter and 30 millimetres in height, the CLAWZ are compact enough to easily carry them in your camera backpack, in a side pocket, or even in a small accessory pouch. They don’t take up unnecessary space and can be quickly stowed away when you want to switch back to standard rubber feet.

Each individual tripod foot weighs only 28 grams. This means that with the complete set of three you’re only carrying a very small additional weight. For outdoor photography, travel, or longer hikes, this is a significant advantage, as you gain extra stability without noticeably weighing down your backpack.

Silver look to match many tripods

The 3 Legged Thing CLAWZ stainless steel tripod feet come in a silver colour that matches many tripod designs. The surface looks high-quality and blends subtly into the overall appearance of your equipment. They are visible but not obtrusive, more like a small detail you notice on a second glance.

The silver stainless steel look harmonises both with classic black tripods and with models that feature coloured accents. So you don’t have to worry much about whether the feet will visually match your setup; they usually integrate very unobtrusively.

More stability and steadiness on demanding surfaces

In summary, the 3 Legged Thing CLAWZ bear-paw feet provide more stability and steadiness on challenging surfaces. The combination of a wide contact area, serrated edge, high-quality stainless steel, and securing rubber O-ring makes them a well-thought-out addition to your tripod if you frequently work outdoors and away from perfectly flat studio floors.

Whether snow, sand, ice, or rock, using these tripod feet helps you position your tripod more calmly and securely. This allows you to focus more on composition, timing, and light while your equipment simply stays reliably in place.
