My llips are sealed :) now the gentleman's cane that also works as a monopod that would be so cool I wonder if there is such a thing, if not we should invent it :)

they do make them I found this one https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1411332-REG/field_optics_research_fws_26s_fws_26_joshua_staff_single.html?ap=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=CjwKCAjw-vjqBRA6EiwAe8TCk_FnFNbJXu4HxoCcDeZ8FRzr3AaJQbcDSIGwzpX1q0Y_9oiYWxM6iBoC9kQQAvD_BwE LOL

and I just reealised that well not realised, but one of my tripods you can remove one leg and use it as a monopod so I really have no excuse LOL

That's a pretty cool one. I think i should make something like Gandalf's in Lord of the Rings or maybe something like an elegant ebony one. Haha, I'm in the wrong neighborhood to find the wood!

I do like the way you think, I do have a couple of walking sticks I collected in my travels and one made by a friend,that the handle broke off and he is going to make me a knew handle, when I see him on Monday if he hasnt done it I may ask him if he can make the handle a screw on one with a thread size the same as on my tripod so I could put my ball head on it, lets just hope he doesn't finish it this weekend ;)
