Although the foot itself is pretty cheap, the whole foot assembly is less than $30, and is only a 5 minute swap (4 screws and 1 connector). Replacing the foot only takes way more time, and it is pretty easy to lose one of the little springs.The S/H from Canon is usually the same for the foot or the whole assembly!

I usually keep some of each on hand for the repairs and mods that I do for those photogs who don’t want to do it themselves.
