I want to use this on a folding cane while traveling. Does the tip go and come off easily for separate storage of tip and cane?

No it screws to the base. Great for walking over rough gravel and slippery streets.

If it is the standard diameter cane. Did not fit on an ornate wooded cane. Otherwise works well

The one I bight didn't screw in, it just popped on and off. My uncle didn't like it b/c his cane wouldn't stand in it's own, it still fell over.

Yes, the tip slips onto the end of a standard cane with a friction fit and would be easy to remove for travel.

I bought this for a separate cane that doesn't fit into it so I can only tell you that the folding cane probably fits fine and comes off fine and this is a very sturdy item. I don't imagine you would have any trouble with it

I found that mine did not actually fit my cane. My travel cane already came with a tripod attached, but it appears as if it would slip on and off moderately easily (not too, as it would then come off when you did not want it to), note that my cane is very heavy duty and no tips that I looked at would fit it.

I'm sorry but I can't answer the question. I bought it when I broke my leg but I never actually used it

Yes, I have one but I only use it around the house. I use a regular can outside of the house as it is easier to maneuver in aisles and around people, etc. The four-point tip is great for indoors as you can stand it up anywhere and not be afraid of it falling over. I am always dropping the regular cane when trying to prop it up while I am doing something that needs both hands and this damages the handle or my floors. I hope this helps answer your question.

Yes you do have to remove the old cane tip. If it won't pull off my husband cuts it with a knife, be very careful

The cane does not fold but it telescopes to a height of 28 inches which should fit into a large suitcase (at least diagonally). It is lightweight with a wrist strap and would fit easily in the overhead bin. Hope this helps.

Having owned two of these, and about to order my third, I can answer the question = to best of my knowledge, NO. After repeated searches on line, and at local stores, I went an alternate route. I found some chair leg/tip protectors that were really inexpensive. they come four to a box so I have plenty of spares. To avoid losing another rubber tip, however, I use black electrical tape to secure the tips. As I use my walking stick as a cane, however go, have found that even with the tape, a tip can be lost via shopping carts (wire mesh catches It). So, be careful. Hope this helps.

I just bought this item and, after a couple hours of trying, wasn't able to fit it onto my Hugo folding cane. It's hard to describe, but the elastic that enables this cane to fold has a plastic tip attached to it (which is underneath the large rubber tip on most canes) and this plastic tip will not fit properly into the "Qhadpod" tip. Anyway, if you haven't already purchased this item don't. It seems like it will work perfectly on non-folding canes though and is a really great idea.

No the tip is not flexible. In a slope, I would make much smaller steps and keep the cane closer to the body than usual. If the tip was flexible, I don't think it would be as stabilizing.

Yes, it has a rubber tip that can be replaced when it becomes worn from use which extends the life of the cane.

Having never had to use a cane before I would hazard a guess that it would be much better than a single since it is more stable--that is it will stand on its own. I had no trouble with using mine.

It does fold down into "half" and then "half" again, and fits in my purse quite well. It comes with a clear plastic pouch and the rubber tip lasted at least two years, I love my cane!

It just pushes on the end of the cane. If the size of the end of your cane matches the hole on the top of the cane tip. Our cane was a standard purchased wooden cane so it worked great and stayes on quite well with out any adhesive.

It depends on if it is overpacked. Tips once in a while but not often and not a problem. I LOVE this thing!

the bottom piece came off with a little muscle from my boyfriend and when you put on the carex tip make sure the cane goes straight in otherwise the cane will not be stable and fall over, which is still does but it works. my friend had the hurricane and didnt like it and suggested this. hope this helps.

It is quite heavy and would be troublesome on a folding cane. I love mine, but it's on a regular metal carex cane. Hope this helps.

It is particularly good for people who are unsteady. It doesn't really pivot, just gives more support on any surface. The fold-up feature has nothing to do with the steadiness. It is locked shut. If I am going out for a daily walk, I use my walker. Going to the movies, restaurants, etc. with someone else is when I use the cane. I never unlock it. It stands next to the front door for when I leave.

There is a end on the cane part that is about an inch across. It is fastened on to the cane leg which is smaller in diameter then the cap end. So far we haven't had any slipping problem with it. I do not think you could put a rubber tip over it as the end is larger then the leg that it fits over.

It will not fold unless you take it off. Not a deal breaker for me since the adapter is so light I can easily store it to the side.
