I purchased this product to assist me after surgery. The locking system is strong, I was surprised. I will probably use all the time when I am in uneven terrain. There is a slight rattle, but it is not annoying. Well built product for the price.
This staff is a good aid when climbing down a mountain and is also great to have along to help steady my camera to take a shot of nature. The knob on top twists off so my camera can screw on. The height of the staff can be changed easily also.
This staff is made by Leki for LL Bean and holds to the high standards of both companies. It can hold 350lbs and is easy to adjust. This is a durable and functional staff that won't let you down.
