Man.
That's like watching a guy get kicked in the pills.
It's just....painful.

That makes me never want to use a monopod. Is it really that fragile? I get shivers just thinking about it.

The same thing happened to me. I found the part through someone on the forums, and it just arrived today. Here's the info that he sent me:
I had to call Panasonic technical support in the beginning. At first, they could not help me and said they'd call me back within a few days. To my surprise, a representative actually did call me back, with the part number and everything. She said to call 1-800-833-9626 and order part number "VMD3345", for $11.57.
That same day, i had posted a similar thread to yours, in the "technical" forum site. Someone said they too had the part, for the same price. His contact info is:

I think he said he only had 1 or 2 left before I purchased mine....so i can't promise you that he has any left in stock. If he does have one, and you call him before 2:30 Eastern Time, he can have it sent out on UPS (mine was shipped w/ in an hour after placing the order). You should call him first. IF he doesnt have any tripod brackets left in stock, then try calling the number Panasonics support team gave me.
Good Luck!
