The quad cane I have is about the same weight as a regular cane. It is not heavy at all and has the advantage that it stands by itself anywhere, so you never have to bend over to pick it up or find a convenient place to lean it against.

The product specs say the cane weighs 2 lbs. It actually feels a bit lighter. The hand grip is well padded with a soft material that makes it more comfortable than the usual hard plastic. I have two of this model and one, much heavier, large base model.

Yes the height adjustment is done by pushing in a pin, and sliding the shaft to one of the pre-determined settings. I looked at the product details in the item description and it lists Shipping weight as 12.8 ounces (which my guess is slightly heavier than the weight of just the cane). However, before I purchased the cane I read the reviews and noted that several of them commented that this cane was lighter than other bariatric canes. I have found the cane weight to be just fine, it is well built, and stable. I am getting ready to order a 2nd one. I hope this helps.

I bought this cane for my 92 year old mother. She uses it daily. It helps with her walking and gives her support. This is her second cane in this style. She left the first one in a restaurant so it was replace. Hope this helps.

Not quite sure what you are asking but I think it is a fabulous cane. It doesn't stand on it's own but it is light and easy to pull apart so you can put it into a bag or on a seat.

The cane weighs about a pound. I must tell you that recently my husband was leaning up against it and the light part broke off.He was putting his whole body weigh on it. Guess I will be buying another one soon. He really likes it and uses it every day.

I have no idea. The handle feels like hard plastic. The only think I can think of is the bungy type cord inside or maybe the footies. I really do not recommend this cane - my significant other almost fell with it - because it is not truly stable for us.

I had to return mine. It says it only goes up to 180lbs and I'm well over that... it was also extremely ugly IMO and nothing like the picture (much much more garishly bright) All the canes from this company are rated for 150-200lbs depending on the model, so their weight limit is very low.

This is much better than a quad cane. My doctor does not recommend quad canes because he had a numbers of patients tr over the extending legs. From my own experience I highly recommend the rubber quad addition my cane

I know what you mean. Its a nice cane and so far seems strong. Its a bit heavy and your hand can get tired from holding it.

Hmmm,. I believe you are asking me if the Ez2care supports a person of "weight". Trust me, if you are, it will handle weight up to 300 lbs easily. I am not that heavy but my friend is and has one. I am over 200 and during my early time with it had to really lean on it because of my fragile health. I am improved and use a cane indoors now, but the walker outside and going to doctors etc where I might have to do alot of shopping. I did go to my CVS and get the "tennis ball" set to fit on the back legs and make it glide better, especially indoors. I think they were $9.95 and are still like new. Good luck and if I misunderstood the question, send it to me again. Hmmm,. I believe you are asking me if the Ez2care supports a person of "weight".

No, it is not a quad cane. It has an enlarged foot on it, but it won't stand up easily on its own.

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.

not very sturdy. my dad goes to my house then my brothers and bought another cane to have at my ouse. His other cane the feet are wider, this one I was very disappointed in but did not return because shipping would be too expensive

The rubber support is only to prevent the cane from falling when you want to let go. I would not depend on it instead of a quad cane! Be careful.
