Can it be used ,succesfully, as a hiking staff as well

You would wear out the tip pretty fast but yeah it could work for that too. It's pretty lite and flimsy until you lock it down with the clamps then it becomes solid as a rock. When I use it for my small camera that's how I move around with it but I don't put a lot of weight on it.

Absolutely not! It is not designed for that kind of weight load. A camera with too big of a zoom or telephoto lens would be too much on it, much less a hiker putting their weight on it. You'll need to get a hiking staff that's made for hiking. Good question though, not a bad idea either.

I guess you could use it for bow hunting, the device is small and would be easy to hike with. We use it every weekend for golfing, it has improved our golf game. Hope this helps.

If baggage size is an issue, then it is very effective. I used it in some pretty hard soil hiking in the Tetons this year. If size isn't an issue there are better leverage shovels.

I believe it would work well for that purpose. I use it for woodcarving all the time.

Yes, it should work. My hiking stick also has a 12mm tip at the top. It tapers to a 10mm tip at the bottom befirt the metaltop.

Wait, these were two different answers, I have the same question, can I use it for camping? did you find out?

No problem for a day hike but out of question for a multi day hike unless you have a sherpa... Take a light head to go with it. It weights about 2kg. You'd carry about 10 kg on a day hike and max 20 kg for a three day hike. I would say it depends how much of a sweat you are prepared to give for that one shot. That being said the possibilities are endless to position your kit with this beauty.

Probably, but it would depend on the tread of the boot. You would want something grippy like the bottom of a skate shoe, not hard, for the pins to dig into. Five Ten makes hiking and work boots that would work great.

I guess so. I found it useful as a hiking pole on my treks. It is very light and strong.

I personally don't use it for that purpose but I do have a lot of tools. I think it would work for garden tools. It is very heavy duty in my opinion. I was recently working on renovating a house and was in and out of this bag constantly and it is still holding up with little to no wear :)

Hi Jaime! I have not used this as yet outdoors but I am sure it will do well for that. It has done so well for me that I bought one for our son who does some outdoor singing to use. Also I bought one for my sister who sometimes subs for PE in schools. Should work wonderfully well for your tourguide gigs.

Yes!!, but be careful not to hit rocks or anything that is too big for the teeth or it will nick them and then need to be filed and sharpened.

Yes you can use it for that but it is not the highest quality so heavy use may not be so kind on it. But for the price and everything you get with the kit you can't beat it.

Yes it would. Just keep in mind this is a heavy duty tripod, so if hiking for miles and miles is how you plan on using it, you might want to opt for something lighter. However, for portraits or food blogging is your thing, this would be ideal!

Not with the equipment provided, Phillippe, but you could probably rig something to strap it there is you wanted. The head (light) piece is curved to sort of fit your head, so not sure how comfortable it would be. The straps are 1 inch wide and it comes with a long cord for the battery pack, so I bet it wouldn't be too hard to rig. Hope this helps.

Depends on you. If you don't want to carry around a full pack, or something that looks huge and floppy for just some day hiking, then yes. Otherwise... no?
