The is broken before even using it, the head mounts doesn't fit right I just want to this item

I have had multiple knee and ankle operations. My mobility has been progressively limited. My recovery compounded by multiple surgeries on both legs. I used to have a good one. Now both are weak.I live on the SC coast and have always gotten joy and solid exercise playing in the waves. With both legs not at 100% I have been reluctant to get into the surf.I brought a regular wooden cane to the beach and was able to get out in the waves. It was amazing. The cane would burrow into the sand though, also I struggled with it floating. So I started searching for a walking stick designed for my needs. Didn’t find one. Hint hint, (marketing opportunity).I settled on this cascade walking stick. It had multiple options for the tip. I can tell you, it was perfect for my needs. I installed the snow tip and the regular rubber end. It gave me so much stability. My first two trips into the surf were inspirational. In heavy waves I was able to stay in control and didn’t get swept away. I don’t know how the materials will hold up to the harsh seawater, but I don’t care. I hope to build my stamina to the point I don’t need it, but if I do I will buy another one in a heartbeat.Sorry I wrote a book, I just wanted to give a bit of back story for my unique application of this product. Thank you. Cascade if you want to consult me for ideas on a seaworthy version, feel free to contact me.Thank you for a great time in the surf. ❤️

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.

El paquete llegó incompleto. Pedí el paquete con 2 y solo llegó 1.

Al ser de fibra de carbono es bastante ligero, tenía mis dudas al principio, pero me sirvió bastante en una caminata pesada de 11hrs.

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.
