I'm very happy with this monopod.  It's very sturdy and I feel comfortable using it as a walking stick also.  I replaced the ball top with a tilting monopod head and QR clamp to simply mounting cameras.  This also adds a little height which is perfect at times.

This monopod is heavy duty and can double as a walking stick.  If you don't plan to use it as a walking stick, you can shed 2.3 oz. in weight by removing the aluminum knob with the compass.  The compass isn't great but I suppose with the knob installed you could use the monopod to defend yourself if you were attacked by a wild animal while hiking in the woods.

Getting back to the core functionality, I prefer lever type locks for locking the leg tubes to the rotary style leg locks used on this monopod.  The rotary style locks do look nice and give the monopod a sleek appearance.  They also lock very securely.  For me, the lever type are much quicker to lock and unlock but that is just a personal preference.

Overall, this is a nice and rugged monopod that can also double as a walking stick.

Now for some of the tech specs:

  Weight: 22 oz. with knob, 19.7 oz with knob removed.

  Length: 18.25" collapsed, 60.5" fully extended.

So fun and convenient to have on hand for walks, hikes, and camping trips. My fianc (260lbs) and myself (140lbs) have tested it to its limits and used it together, and we feel very safe.

I love this very sturdy and pretty walking stick. Mine is sassafras but Brazos has all kinds of wood sticks. I use it around my barn and farm. Will probably order some for Christmas presents.

Awesome walking stick ! And cane. I got this for my husband who needs a cane and I don't know why someone said it would not be good for a cane because it's great for my husband. My husband is still young and unfortunately needs the assistance of a cane but hates the big bulky huge handled "old" persons cane. He loves this and the fact that it has a flashlight that van be swiveled up and down blows his other cane out of the water. I could see it being hard for maybe an elderly person but they would need a special balancing cane anyways. I'm so happy I found this for him. It's put together well and it will be used ALOT, I'll update in future as to how it holds up.

Its hard to find a cane/walking stick that doesnt collapse under your weight but this one really delivers.  No i am not a shill.  I really like this product.  As a photographer i'm always looking for a handy monopod.  This is adjustable easily and locks in place but also has a spring to absorb shock.  After getting mine I immediately ordered one for a friend for Christmas as it is a good product at a good price.  Really well done!

Got this as a gift for my son.  He loves it.  It would be better if it could actually be used as a walking stick, but it is made out of a heavy material. It would be difficult to lug around all day, but it works great as a prop for a costume.

Walking stick is comfortable and feels more expensive than I would have imagined at this price point.  I am not sure I would recommend for the damp back country as it is prone to coming apart if it gets stuck in the mud and you try to lift it up.

I walk with a cane all the time. This walking stick is adjustable and has a little spring in it to soften the ground-strike. I highly recommend and would purchase again.

I have had this Leki walking stick since I broke my leg in 2011 and I love it.  It is the lightest weight and collapsible.  I travel with this cane since it is so lightweight and have not had any problems taking it through security at the airport.  The antishock is great as my wrist and shoulder don't hurt.  The biggest problem is not forgetting this cane anywhere.  I forgot it in a restaurant in Canada but luckily we were still in the area so I could find it.  I'm glad I could find replacement tip on Amazon for a reasonable price too.

I bought the Brazos Twisted Sweet Gum Wood walking stick for a trip to Northern California and Oregon.  I couldn't have been more pleased. I suffer from osteoarthritis, and recovering from a relatively recent knee replacement. All this  coupled with lower back problems I refuse to sit out on enjoying getting up close and personal with nature. This walking stick made that possible. If you are looking for balance as well as  support this is your best bet! I am 5'8 and ordered the length accordingly. I also received many unexpected compliments on this walking stick from friends and strangers who referred to it as "looking super cool". You won't regret this purchase.

I really enjoy the sturdiness and collapsibility of this stick. I find it to be practical for smaller vehicles and squeezing into a day pack. Having the option of bringing a stick in a compact car is fabulous. You have to remember that anything collapsible will have slightly less structural stability in comparison to a solid piece, but that being said, this really is a fabulous stick with great strength. I highly recommend this for the spontaneous adventurer. Thank you Himal for the opportunity to try this stick out at a cheaper price and to leave my honest opinion!
