Is it sturdy enough to use as a walking stick?

Without extending the bottom portion the monopod is 54 1/2 in. tall, takes the flex out of it.

sorry for the delay - but ABSOLUTELY strong enough. That's how I use it/carry it, then screw it onto the cam when I need a little extra steadying.

I can't tell you since I returned mine after finding a less expensive lighter model.

Yes, in fact I use it that way. I do not recommend putting heavy pressure on it but it does help on longer walks. While using it I remove the camera which is on a ball head with quick release.

It will flex a bit, but the leg locks are sturdy and the pole is very strong. The foot is soft rubber, so it will not last forever if used as a walking stick very often.

Sorry, I can't answer your question, I've never used it as a walking stick.

This is a solid piece of wood and does not fold. However, it is a great walking stick with interchangeable rubber stopper on bottom or pick for the ground.

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 don't see why not. You would need to frame it. And I do t think it could support being walked on

for what its intended to be used for, I'd say it's pretty sturdy. not to be climbed on, etc.

If it is clothing or something soft, it would work very well. Heavy, sharp items might be a problem. It is sturdy and light. I keep it outside and use it for recycling plastics easily. Good luck on your trip.

it definitely would be sturdy enough but I think the lip would slide off of the brick...that little curve on the end of the picture on the right want to slip over something to hold it

I'm not sure what the suggested weight limits are the the walking stick. But we bought it for my Father-in-law and it was great for him. He's 5'9" 220lbs.

It's pretty sturdy. I've got 3 kids who climb all over it and it's held up well. I guess it would depend upon whether the gentleman sat down and put on his shoes, then got back up again, or if he used it as a stepstool to climb up to a higher shelf (partial-weight, stable mass -vs- full weight, moving mass). I would say -probably.-

Yes, it's very sturdy. I bought this for my son and he uses it on a daily basis and is very happy with it.

Yes I would think so. I can take a hockey stick and bang it pretty solid and it doesn't budge at all

Sorry to hear this, but yes, they seem designed to provide great stability on any surface because it comes with various tips.Of course, it all depends on how severe your disability is but if you can walk with a cane, I think these would work for you. If you need a full walker for mobility, I would not like to be definitive but do believe these walking sticks would help you a great deal.

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

It is definitely sturdy...BUT in a support-the-weight of the DVD's kind of sturdy. it is tall and lightweight for what it can hold, so while it seemed pretty stable on its feet, I did attach one of the straps to the wall just as extra insurance in case it ever gets a hard bump.

No !! This is a walking staff/stick that contains a shock absorbing system that simply works as one walks or hikes. The staff has an adjustable shaft length feature. The shaft can be adjusted for different persons height as a walking staff, or as I use mine, a cane (length). This item does not collapse. It is simply adjustable in length.

Hi., I don't use it for that type of purpose, but my guess would be yes, it should be sturdy enough. Make sure you lock the wheels of course.

It is fairly sturdy, but loses a little rigidity the more you open up the legs and extend it. The problem is that the legs themselves do not have substantial texture to provide grip. If it is placed on another smooth surface, an acting force (such as a cat) could easily scoot it around.
