The TrekPod is a unique combination of a lightweight, height-adjustable walking/hiking staff with a fully integrated tripod for cameras, optical devices and almost any other tripod mountable device such as photo lights, microphones, etc. Simply unfasten the touch-fastener loop at the bottom of the TrekPod to extend the three short legs for the tripod mode. With the legs extended, the TrekPod is now a stable but lightweight tripod. In addition, the TrekPod is a height-adjustable, fully functional monopod. The TrekPod converts between all three functions in just seconds. The product incorporates an innovative, quick-release, mount-demount system called MagMount. The MagMount is an industry-first magnetic quick-release camera and optical device ball head. It provides for the instant attachment of almost any camera, spotting scope, or other device that is mounted via the industry standard 1/4-20 threaded mounting system. Comes supplied with two plates: Extra light LF (silver) and heavy HG (black) force Mag Adaptors, so that all camera and optical devices are ready for instant attachment to the MagMount. If you are intend to use the TrekPod with a binocular, you will of course need a standardized 1/4"-20 binocular tripod adapter.

Highly versatile monopod

"I LOVE versatile equipment, especially to use in the field & to travel with. I purchased this monopod 3 months ago & I have not been disappointed. It comes with a detachable ball/socket camera mount for use with small to medium sized cameras (for larger cameras just remove the mount & attach your own monopod head to it). Given the tripod foldout of the lower section, it can be used as a flash or mic stand & o..." Read Full Review »

TrekPod with MagMount Quick Release

"Good support for a point/shoot camera. Unique design. Useful only with light weight lens and a small camera body in horizontal format. Useless magnetic disc combo and its ball head. Can be improved by 1. Replacing head with standard tripod screw so that one can choose a stable head. 2. Shortening the folded length by 14-20 inches...." Read Full Review »

"Useful for Hiking when it's too much of a pain to carry a Tripod. Works well as a Walking Staff; and is a great Monopod when you need it. As a Tripod with the legs extended it works fine within limitations. Don't expect it to be as stable as even a lightweight Tripod --it isn't; but it will get t …"  Read Full Review »

"I have a full-sized tripod and a full-sized monopod. The first is too heavy and bulky and the second isn't always stable enough. The TrekPod isn't as stable as a full-blown tripod either but it is an outstanding and much better compromise for shooting in low light, makes a great walking aid and the …"  Read Full Review »

"I took the TrekPod all over Australia; it worked great as a hiking staff in the Western Desert and the Blue Mountains. It's also a great monopod; just pop off the knob, twist and extend the staff, and you're ready to snap a sporting event, a band review or whatever. The small footprint of the tripod …"  Read Full Review »
