Leki: Sierra Antishock Trekking Pole - Altrec.com Product Description:

This single staff is a dream pole for birders, photographers, hunters. Underneath the solid wood knob is a universal screw mount to accommodate scopes, cameras and a "Y" Attachment for a gun. The comfortable Foam Gripping surface is also helpful for anglers looking for the perfect trout...we can't help you get the fish but we can help you navigate the rocky stream. The 360° turn back security of the Super Lock System (SLS) was proven to be the strongest by TUV, an independent testing lab. The Soft Antishock System (SAS), Carbide Flextip and the Rubber Tip for pavement use makes this one all around pole.

Simply stated...perfect Without this pole my recent trip to New Zealand and Australia would not have been possible. After spinal surgery two years ago, my balance and walking strength were impaired and this pole enabled me to not only navigate airports, and streets...but allowed me to "keep up with the group" when on bus tours and bush treks. Thank you, Altrec and Leki for giving me the chance for adventure

Anti-shock better than expected This is my first trekking pole. I do a lot of hiking, and I bring my camera and I used to bring my tripod with me on every hike. Now, with a small ball-head and a quick release, picture taking is easy in the woods. At first I was skeptical about the anti-shock feature, but now that I have used it, I find it to be quite handy. Plus if I can turn off this feature by simply unscrewing the staff if I want to take more stable pictures. Can't beat the price either.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No ( 1 of 2 found this review helpful.)

Very well built and sturdy was a walking staff This walking staff is very well made and sturdy - however, when extended fully for use as a camera platform the lowest section is rather thin and is not as sturdy as one would like for a heavy camera or lens. It is fine for a small camera - for a larger, heavy camera I would go with a Manfrotto/Bogen Monopod.
