Comments about Manfrotto 449SP2 Stainless Steel Retractable Spiked Foot Adapter:
I bought this one as a replacement for a lost rubber foot that was nowhere to be found (B&H, [@]you name them). This foot is very sturdy and thanks to the tightening screw is very well attached to the monopod - much better than the original slide on rubber foot. The retractable spike is great for changing surfaces. The rubber part collects some mud when placed in soft ground which could have been avoided by a tighter fit of the rubber part around the spike - but that's a picky lazy guy speaking here:) A minor downside: it adds some weight to the magfiber monopod and airlines might consider it dangerous due to the spike.

Comments about Manfrotto 449SP2 Stainless Steel Retractable Spiked Foot Adapter:
As is typically of Manfrotto products, this is very well constructed and fit my Manfrotto 3006 monopod perfectly. Only issue is the cost of the item. The spiked foot also includes a very nice T-handle Philips screwdriver. This is an additional item that isn't really needed since any Phillips screwdriver would work. Therefore, the cost of the item could be lowered by not including the screwdriver since the foot is permanent and doesn't require use of a small screwdriver in the field.

Comments about Manfrotto 449SP2 Stainless Steel Retractable Spiked Foot Adapter:
Excellent firm fit to tripod. I like best the heavy rubber fitting that screws down when on hard surface, and the spike, for soft surface. . .
