Lightweight and sturdy. Some of the more expensive ultralight poles I've tried didn't give me confidence to put my weight on it (180 lbs), but these poles handle my weight no issue.The handles feel nice on a 13 mile hike. The monopod bolt is sturdy and does not wobble (unlike another trekking pole / monopod I purchased). I recommend mounting a Peak Design plate or something similar to the bottom of your camera and install a quick release clamp on top of the trekking pole so you can easily mount/remove the camera. Normally I just use these as normal trekking poles, but it's nice to have the option of using this as a monopod with a big telephoto lens.

The Cascade Mountain Tech Trekking Poles Carbon Fiber / Monopod have to much flex at 60 inches. I would not recommend them for use as a trekking pole or monopod at 60 inches. Though I would as a monopod at 58 inches. Those two inches makes it usable, to bad Cascade did no make the top section two inches longer. The strap with the buckle is ok, I was worried about that. Though I prefer the strap trapped in the handle. I have not used any of the accessories. I am adding a quick release to speed up going for trekking pole to monopod quicker.

It's been half a year, and I'm ecstatic. After spending 20+ years in wheelchairs, walkers, and rollators, I graduated to a cane. Not only was I still hunched forward, the cane twisted me toward one side. Wondering how I could walk straighter, I was inspired toward trekking poles.My friend Tim, an avid backpacker, regaled with his trekking pole adventures. He credits a trekking pole with saving his life by preventing a fall down a cliff in Glacier Park!Tim uses just one pole, and it's priced ~$200. I surely couldn't afford two of those, so Tim advised...* Must be carbon fiber* Must have clamp adjusters, not twistingCascade Mountain Tech was a great choice. After 6 months, I stand 5 inches taller, I walk straight, I can see traffic now when I'm walking on the street! Even my physical therapists are happy, and they are HARD to please.

I shopped for a pair of hiking poles for a 7 day backpack. The primary requirement was that it has a tripod mount, and I also wanted something fairly light. I hesitated about this kit from Cascade Mountain, because it's not a well-known brand, and seems like a chinese no-name brand. Can I trust it?Although it's not at the same level as a set from Black Diamond and the like, this is a solid choice. First, the 8.6oz (244g) weight is accurate. This carbon pole is pretty light, but not ultra light. The pole is sturdy. The length adjustment is very secure, holds my weight and won't slip.The cork grip is not as ergonomic as some designs, but is comfortable enough and works ok. Cork will probably absorb a bit of water, adding weight, and a synthetic grip would be lighter and better, but i think cork will be durable.The wrist strap is an adjustable buckle, which is not as seamless as no-buckle designs that use friction to hold the strap loop, but it's actually pretty good. the buckle doesn't get in the way, and the stap has a soft fabric on the inside which is great for your bare hand and wrist. It has a carry-case with a zip pocket that neatly holds all accessories, which is pretty nice overall.Now the tripod mount. It has a locing collar nut which is tiny, and you can't actually reach it with your fingertip. So to position your camera, you need to unscrew the camera to adjust the nut, and retighten several times before you get it in the right position. Not a deal-breaker. I found that the wrist strap is now loose with a camera insalled, because the lock nut no longer holds it down firmly. The strap will swivel and move around, but won't ever come off, and this turns out to be no issue.The only downside of these poles is the folded length. A bit too long for any backpack, and need to be strapped to the outside of a pack. That's expected with this friction-buckle design.Overall these poles are recommended, especially if you want a tripod mount for an action-cam.

No me gusto, me pareció de una calidad inferior a la que imaginaba, además los terminados se ven muy deficientes para el costo del producto, uno de los soportes de las correas venia despegado, ni siquiera lo utilice, tan solo lo destape, lo revise y lo envié de regreso
