[Idyllchat] A Walking Stick (but oh so much more...)

[Powen Shiah]

I'm nervous to bring up this topic as I know how much discussion there's
been in the past, but I wanted to ask if anyone had ever heard of the
"TrekPod"?
http://trek-tech.com/

It's apparently a walking stick & tripod in one.  Here's what their website
says:

"It's a Walking Staff,
It's a Monopod,
It's a Tripod—and the
MagMount Works Like Magic!

"A revolutionary multi-purpose tripod system that is the most exciting and
innovative new outdoor recreation product to come along in years!"

TrekPod™ provides a unique multi-function solution that is portable, stable
and quickly interchangeable.

The TrekPod light-weight tripod/monopod/hiking & /wading staff converts from
hiking mode to tripod in seconds, and attaches your camera or observation
optics via the fully integrated quick-release MagMount™ system instantly.

TrekPod with MagMount allows you to take your outdoor experience to a new
level. Enjoy more comfortable hiking, fatigue-free photography and
observation and get the shots never before possible!

*Go farther, see more, carry less."*
I'm not affiliated with them at all, just thought those of you who are avid
photographers AND hikers would be interested.
