Product Review:
Anyone who has spent much time hiking knows that hiking poles have now become as much astaple for North American outdoors enthusiasts has they have been for Europeans for decades. Those seeking toavoidinjuries and early wear on jointsuse sturdy poles to ease the strain on knees, hipsand backs.
For the photographer on a group hike, there is rarely time for toying with tripods and complex camera gear. Taking self-portraits or couple-shots outdoors can be ahassle since there is rarely time tofind a well positionedrock andor fiddle with a timer.Either that, or you have to find a willing volunteer or stranger to hold your camera, and try to find the button and view finder while taking your shot.Most of the time, you don't bother and you miss out on great group shots in amazing places.
That's why I was impressed with this tiny device from inventor, outdoors enthusiast and fellow Sierra Club volunteer,Rod Java. Rod developed this little wonder to take quick shots by placing a camera on the end of a hiking pole.This puts the camera far enough away for a easy shot of a single person or small group. This makes taking quickphotos in front of breathtakingvistas fast and easy and helps capture those great, once in a lifetime memories.It's one of those things that makes one wonder why no one ever thought of it before.
You won't find this device anywhere on eBay. Rod sells a few hundred every year, mostly to Europeans who have become hip to the utility and "cool factor" of this lightweight, photo enthusiasts tool. You'll find it at www.thestickpic.com.
