Product Description

Product Description

The adjustable-length Tracks Sherlock Staff is hand-built with high-strength, lightweight anodized aluminum tubing. It is built in three sections which may be unscrewed and packed into the included nylon carry bag for compact travel and storage. The uppermost section features length-adjustment push-button and holes enclosed in a soft foam sheath. It has a contoured foam handle for comfort, an adjustable Wedge Lock wrist loop for wrist support, a removable walnut knob with a universal camera mount, and a spike tip beneath a removable rubber foot for trekking versatility. The staff's length may be adjusted between 44.5 and 57.5 inches (113 and 146 centimeters), its stored length is 24 inches (61 centimeters), and it weighs 18 ounces (500 grams).

The staff is designed to reduce the impact of each step. The weight which is normally carried by the lower body is transferred to the arms and torso, lessening the stress on the legs by five to 10 pounds. This allows you to experience more power and traction going uphill and to reduce strain on the knees and ankles when coming down. These travel staffs are available as single walking staffs and paired as trekking poles.

Product Description

The Sherlock Travel Staff is a three-section adjustable-length walking staff that unscrews for compact storage and travel. Disassembled sections pack into a convenient nylon carry bag. The upper staff is encased in a soft foam sheath. Features include sure-locking push-button length adjustment, a contoured foam grip with adjustable Wedge Lock wrist loop, a camera mount beneath a walnut knob, and a removable rubber foot concealing a spike tip. Tracks walking staffs and trekking poles help you walk smarter. They reduce the impact of each step you take so that weight which is normally carried by your lower body is transferred to your arms and torso, lessening the stress on your legs by 5–10 pounds or more. This means you get more power and traction going uphill, and save your knees and ankles when coming back down. All Tracks staffs are hand-built with high-strength, lightweight anodized aluminum tubing. They are available as single walking staffs and paired trekking poles. Their soft foam handgrip stays comfortable hour after hour, while their adjustable wrist straps aid transfer of weight when walking.

I bought mine two years ago when visiting Acadia National Park in Maine. It has held up well and collapses down small enough to fit in my duffel sized luggage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Walking Stick / Monopod, April 18, 2009

I've been wanting a monopod for my camera for a while now. I actually saw this walking stick at Bass Pro Shop, and loved it, because it's a walking stick/monopod. Plus, the best thing about it, it folds up easy enough to stick in a backpack. The actual length for me is a little tall when put together,(I'm 5'4")but it's okay.

I haven't actually used it hiking yet, but from the looks of it, I believe it'll do just fine.

This review is from: Tracks Sherlock Travel Staff (Sports)

The picture of "Tracks Sherlock Travel Staff" informs me that is
something like a ski pole but it really is not. The instructions
for operation or use of the features of the "Staff" are not to be found. A tag attached tells me it can be used in many ways but not
how to do them: Like shorting, lengthing or dismantling etc.

I don't think the rubber tip is going to last very far on rocky trails.

It's as good as many I have checked out and better than some.
To compare an orchestra conductor's baton to a baseball bat is to
cmpare Sherlock's Staff to my image of a genuine Trekking Pole.
