Does it double as a walking stick?

No, it is heavy duty, but... the least little kink or bow will keep from retracting back into itself. I would not. Jim

No. It is small, think of it as almost a personal size. I think it holds about 1/4-1/2 of a stick. They are nice.

When folded the walking stick is about 3 feet long--they can be transported well in a duffell bag or extra large suitcase but not the usual large suitcase. That said, I've just used one for two months in the rainforest during the rainy season, and it worked extremely well. They are lighweight, very strong, and collapse easily

This is a one piece walking stick. I have had 2 back surgeries & this stick helps with my balance. I am 5'10 & use the 55" model. This is a great stick but it doesn't come in three pieces. The fact that it doesn't probably makes it stronger because there aren't any joints to weaken it.

Yes, you can move it left/right and up/down. There is a limit amount of travel, but it does move.

Unfortunately it does not. It's fairly big but great for small homes like mine. I live in a 2 bed 2 bath single wide trailer. So we don't have much extra room to have a walker. The extended part for that walking purpose is great. My absolutely loves it. Although you can pretty easily break it down to store it

Hi Lorraine. I wasn't aware such a thing existed for walking sticks. Unfortunately I am unable to answer your question. I suggest you contact SwitchStick themselves and ask them. Regards Margaret

If your walking stick can use a standard size rubber cane tip on the bottom, this cane tip will fit.

My sense would be "no". It's really quite a cheap stick. I bought it for airplane travel and wanting just a bit more stability on hikes, and it is adequate for that. But if you wanted good shock absorption and stability, probably worth going with a more expensive product.

I think that's how my mom adjusted the height of the walking stick. She really likes it, uses it all the time.

With the ball/compass end in place the fully Extended height is approx 50 inches, or 127 cm ( there is no way to use it other than fully extended or fully collapsed for storage) the product seems to be made mostly of Aluminum. I use it as a collapsible camera Monopod, so I don't have any experience with it as a walking stick.

It doesn't have a pointed end so unless you make one yourself and add it I would not suggest using it for a stream fishing walking stick.

No, it is just the "old fashioned" wooden walking cane, but I imagine that you could purchase a different item to put on the bottom.

Yes it does. I got them for a trip to New Zealand but didn't use it very much. Guess it was more of a bother and we didn't do "hiking" as much as we just walked.

Yes. It is handheld so you have to be down on grass level. For long runs like that I have a black and decker with wheels and a removable handle so you can walk while pushing it. The B&D; does not have the power of the Teho though.

Hi Hugh...no..the ball does not move...hope you are aware that the cane is to be at a certain height when you walk with it, when you add this Tripod, it will make the cane taller, you need to adjust this...it is difficult to push the Tripod on, what I did was, use a small amount of WD-4 to make it slide on, but any oil or grease will do, and then I pounded it down by banging is on cement floor to make it go up the cane...go online and ask the question "what is the correct height for canes and walkers" ...take care, and keep the strap around your wrist yours truly William

The stick doesn't fold; You make it longer or shorter like like you do the canes. It is a great tool for balance.
