REI Co-op Hiker Staff - Single

This telescoping REI Co-op Hiker Staff features easy-to-adjust external locking mechanisms that lock tight to support your weight on steep climbs and tricky descents. The cam locks have an oversize lever for easy adjustment between users or to adapt to slope angle, and they can be tightened without tools.

An ergonomic injected-cork top knob and a lower EVA foam sleeve provide multiple comfortable grip options, paired with an adjustable wrist strap with a soft finish. The top cork knob unscrews so the staff can be used as a monopod camera mount, and the included trekking basket helps keep the tip from sinking into soft dirt and sand. The 3-section aluminum shaft extends to 139.7 cm and collapses to 66 cm for easy storage and carrying on the trail.

Is there a tip or a protector tip I can buy for city walking ?

Yes, here are the walking tips: https://www.rei.com/product/168735/rei-co-op-trekking-pole-rubber-walking-tips-pair

is this compatiable with the Black Diamond Trail Flicklock telescoping poles. As replacement for one lost

If adjusted to same length, you can use a mixed branded pair of trekking poles; however, the unique grips and weight difference may become noticeable and not ideal for long treks.

Is it possible to order just the foam grip and padded handle?

No, we do not have replacement parts for these poles.

How do I get the basket off the pole.

Pull on the basket while unscrewing counterclockwise.

Will the cork end of this pole float if dropped in water. Wish to use as a wading staff for fly fishing. Other recommendations? Thank you

No, this pole is not designed to float.

Can this support a DSLR camera with a zoom lens? What camera equipment have you used with the camera support?

The pole can support a hefty DSLR, but because it has a fixed mount, it does little to improve stability unless the camera is level to the ground. One could attach an adjustable monopod head to the pole to allow more flexible shooting angles.

I lost the top screw-off cork section of this pole, any way to replace this?

Unfortunately, we do not have replacement parts for this hiking staff.

How do adjust the strap on the REI Hiker Staff?

Pull out on the top strap to loosen. Pull on the bottom end strap to tighten.

What is the diameter of the cork knob and the foam grip? The foam grip in particular looks smaller than standard trekking poles

The diameter is 55mm (2.2 inches).

Hello! What is the thread dimension for the monopod mount under the cork knob on top? 1/4-20? 3/8-16?

This staff features a 1/4-20 monopod thread.
