Cue the anti-racism brigade !

Nice idea, but be aware that they already make trekking poles which double as monopods.

Ah but you're looking to sell it for £300!

I used to use a walking stick, but I now find a trekking pole much easier to use and you'd be surprised how much weight they can take.

Very inventive, think you might have missed the boat marketing wise though

I just use a normal Manfrotto monopod when hiking - attached to my rucksac when not taking photos, those bl**dy Trekking Poles are more trouble than they're worth when scrambling around mountain tops - most people I see seem to use them as some sort of fashion accessory anyway, dragging them behind them wherever they go :bonk:
