Sue,

Interesting idea, that looks like a cool item. I wonder if I could try to attach a mounting stud for a camera on top of my telescoping walking stick that I already have to MacGyver a mono-pod? It actually has a wooden top, (or is it cork now that I think of it?). Maybe someone makes a fitting that has a wood screw on one end and a camera mount stud on the other?

No matter what we had the other day, it was ugly trying to get a photo with hurricane force gusts, and freezing rain, and about 20 foot visibility on the summit! Fun Fun Fun!
