Manfrotto replacement inserts for 16mm section — model D0201.16 (compatible with GM2941)

Manfrotto replacement inserts for 16mm section — model D0201.16 are spare parts designed to restore proper function to the 16 mm leg tube of compatible tripods such as the GM2941. These inserts sit inside the 16 mm leg section to re-establish secure locking, correct alignment of leg segments and smooth telescoping action. They are intended for repair and maintenance to extend the service life of tripod legs and maintain reliable camera support.

Advantages

The inserts provide a direct, parts-level solution to common wear issues in the 16 mm leg section without replacing the entire leg assembly. Made to fit the original tube dimensions, they restore consistent locking and reduce wobble between segments. Installation of the insert returns smooth extension and retraction of the leg, helping to preserve tripod stability and prolong overall equipment usability.

Suitable for

• Repairing worn or damaged 16 mm tripod leg sections
• Maintaining or refurbishing Manfrotto GM2941-compatible legs
• DIY tripod maintenance and parts replacement
• Workshops and rental houses performing routine tripod service

Key specifications

• Designed for 16 mm diameter leg section
• Replacement insert form factor compatible with original leg interiors
• Restores locking and telescoping function of leg segments
• Intended as a spare part for tripod structural maintenance

How to use

Remove the damaged or worn insert from the 16 mm leg tube following the tripod manufacturer's disassembly guidance. Clean the interior of the tube to remove debris or old adhesive. Press or fit the replacement insert into the 16 mm section until it seats firmly and aligns with the leg's locking mechanism. Reassemble the leg segments and test extension, retraction and locking under load to ensure proper fit and function.

Usage recommendations

Use only on compatible 16 mm leg sections and follow the tripod manufacturer's service instructions. Verify fit and locking operation after installation and avoid overtightening adjacent fasteners that could deform the tube or compromise the insert. If extensive corrosion or structural damage is present, consider replacing the entire leg section rather than using a single insert.
