Check eBay for tripod thread adapter

Sorry without knowing what brand camera, and whether it is mechanical or electronic (have you replaced the battery if it takes one?) there is nothing that can be done without more information.

because of the age and the fact that Vivitar hasn't made that tripod in years, you will have to take the parts from an identical model.

I did not have any luck in locating the leg locking assembly for my Vivitar V3000. Instead, I plastic welded both that were broken on mine. So far, so good!

Try Wal-Mart, Target, Circut City, or Sam's Club. I'm sure they have it.

Try www.tripodquickrelease.com They have that exact model listed and the plate sells for $16.99

That model is listed at www.tripodquickrelease.com That exact model seems to have three listed on the site for $ 16.99

Vivitar is no longer in business, they just sell their name to add to merchandise. They are usually simple cameras but should take some sort of battery. There should be a side button to pop the back open. The film should lie flat equal to the end of the take-up roll. There should be a device on the back cover that pushes the film on the take up roll. There may be a button to turn on the flash (if it has one) and a lever to go to TELE. Not much else, point and shoot.

Fixya does not supply spares or replacement parts for any equipment, I'm afraid. Have you tried eBay, the mfr or your local friendly camera shop ?

Who are these people designing the leg locks. These are the poorest examples of engineering. Even a child could see that the leg lock begs to be broken. Maybe Vivitar should stick to flashes
